Hello Dogs

I cleaned up my Tenere over the last fews years, in between other - mostly Dakar - projects.

I tried to keep everything original - just replaced what was beyond repair or elbow grease. Wheels (rims, spokes and hubs) are still as from factory. Stainless steel spokes will look better and should be replaced as a long term goal.

Andy "Two Boy" from Dirt Style, put the motor together with Yam parts. Tank was touched up by Custom Works - old stickers remained in tact, just clear coated. Frame and brackets powder coated. New mud guards and other odds and ends sprayed by a mate, Jannie.

It's not perfect yet, I still need to put lettering on seat (too scared spray won't last.) and sort out its fitment to tank. Italian Upholsteres tried to improve the base when recovered, but needs some more attention.

Greetings
