Decided to mount a quick release headlight guard to my Tenere 700 and shopped around for options. I came across one that looked identical to some brand names that were asking 4 times more plus and thought I’d give it a shot. Mounted today and I’d say this came from the same factory as a brand name guard as it looks identical. Quality is spot on, easy install and the guard is held on perfectly. […]

This was a bit of an eye opener for me. The Tenere 700 is a tall bike and require the inside leg of a small T-Rex to sit on comfortably with both feet flat on the floor and a small bend of the knee.

These are now available to purchase in the Overland Rider Store! Just received and mounted this little gizmo today and I have to say I’m impressed. For 14 Euros it’s actually a steal compared to the more complicated and expensive solutions to a problem I didn’t personally have but thought I’d give it a shot for the price. One thing I did have to do was to comprehensively clean the tank area where the sticky […]

My butt is old and skinny .. there, I said it. As such, 40 miles on the stock plank of wood would have me moaning to myself and batting back the tears, so I decided to do something about it. Sheepskin butt pads are nothing new, an old tried and tested product but I had an idea on a slight variation. All the ones I’d ever seen were either a sheepskin by itself or with […]
