During a fun telephone conversation with Martin LeBreton of AltRider, he mentioned a product I was wasn’t aware of. Namely, their Clutch Arm Extension kit. After he explained how it worked my interest was tweaked and I agreed to install and review one. These were initially designed to give added clutch control off-road and listening to others who’ve used them, they seem to do exactly that. But that wasn’t really what interested me as I currently […]

This kit is something I’m personally looking forward to. I tour on my T700 much more than most and my clutch hand is often very tired at the end of a 600 mile trip in one day. This kit should really help! Please do watch the video to better understand what this kit does and how it might help.

This review has been a long time coming. Due to inclement weather here on the Isle of Wight, for many months now, the time constraints of running my own company and setting aside time for a full-time wife and a 15 y/o son, have all meant I’ve needed to prioritise. Finally, on Sunday, the stars aligned, at the same time as the weather, and the Alt-Rider High Fender kit was installed. Whenever I’m looking for […]

This kit will arrive with me in the next few days and I’ll then be fitting and reviewing it. I have to say, I don’t normally do aesthetic upgrades, apart from graphics, but if I’m completely honest, I don’t “need” a high front fender as 90% of my riding is currently on the road and light off-road. Coming from a motocross and enduro background, however, I’m used to having a high fender and do prefer […]

Please note: This review is in two parts. 1. Unboxing, quality, design and finish. 2. Installation and practical use. I’ve already reviewed two adjustable side stands for the Tenere 700. The Rally Raid and the T-rex Racing. The former was useless with a 40mm lowered bike and the latter did the job, but not perfectly, so I’m really looking forward to seeing if AltRider took on board my previous findings and solved the problem once […]

Please Note – This review is in two parts: 1. Part 1 – First Impressions & Installation 2. Part 2 – Practical Use This morning I was finally able to get out early on the bike and see what these foot pegs were like in practise. Leaving the house I spent a little time getting used to them being 20mm higher than my previous Bosley pegs but it wasn’t long before everything felt quite natural […]

I’ve thus far tested two side stands: the Rally Raid and the T-Rex. The first was useless on a 40mm lowered T700 and the response from the company was similar. The T-Rex stand is currently on my bike now and it does do the job but if truth be told, it could do with being another 15mm lower to really do the job well. At the moment I still have to be a tad careful […]
Read More Please Note – This review is in two parts: 1. Part 1 – First Impressions & Installation 2. Part 2 – Practical Use AltRider have, for some time, been one of my “go to” companies for top quality parts. I already have their brilliant skid plate and their very handy rear brake pedal extender plate. Both are top quality and will always remain on the Overland Rider T700. And now I have the pleasure of […]

In the next couple of weeks I’ll be reviewing the AltRider Adventure II Footpegs for the T700. Following on from the Camel ADV Rear Brake Pedal Replacement Review, I need to return my footpegs to the stock height; my current Bosley pegs are 20mm lower than stock and that is causing the CADV pedal to bottom out on the main casing so they need to be replaced. AltRider products are always great quality and they […]
