The tenere is very popular in France, as you are there I would do a search like this.....

There is one made in the USA called Craftsman & sold worldwide by agents, not sure if it fits the 1VJ though? whatever you do don`t use Ricky Cross (he makes them) as there`s been a lot of bad reports of late where people have paid & seen nothing in return.

I think the problem here on the 1VJ is that centre bolt, you have a grill on yours from memory.

Secondhand are pretty rare & when they do come up on ebay everyone's fighting over them, yet another product someone should be making for Tenere`s.

That headlight grill looks nice, think you can just omit that senter bolt, it will still do the job.
Or just do some minor modification.

Think I gonne order one for my bike
Heres a link to one possible part pusher:

This website has been mentioned before (many times) nobody has had any luck with this company (even with translation) :scratch:

Let us all know know if you have a 'magical connection" with this company. :biggrin: :thumb:
