SRmoto Build #34

We recently sold our Tenere 700 Project Bike to a local guy who’s planning on doing some long trips with it, as well as a fair amount of off-road riding. He’s going to be providing us with the occasional trip report or product review, so stay tuned for that.

And for this iteration of the Tenere 700 Project Bike, we’re calling it “The Adventure Touring Build”. It’s been set it up to do longer adventure rides with a mix of highway, twisty back roads, dirt roads, and some mild off-road trails. New additions to the bike include luggage, a throttle lock/cruise control, and a few other items to make the bike work better for longer multi-day trips. Here’s how the Tenere 700 has been setup for this type of long distance adventure riding…

AUXILIARY LED LIGHTING:
We wanted front auxiliary LED lighting so our Tenere 700 stands out more in traffic, and also to provide better lighting if we ever get caught out on the road/trail after dark. We’ve used Denali lighting on a few other bikes, and it is super high quality stuff. We went with their small DM line of LED lights, and mounted them to the Denali Auxiliary Light Mount they make for the Tenere 700 that bolts up under the stock headlight. Now we’re much more visible on the road, and the super bright LED’s will also work great after dark. I definitely recommend getting the Denali Dual-Intensity Controller, which allows you to use your bike’s high/low beam switch to change the DM’s from half bright to full bright . If you don’t get that controller, then you control the lights from the on/off handlebar switch, so they are either off or full bright, and when they are full bright I think it’s a bit too much for on-coming traffic.
