Got into work with a fresh head & a large syringe & had another go at my brakes, must of had a trapped air bubble in the master cylinder cos I blasted it through backwards with the syringe... after that it was bled in 5 minutes... :clap:

Looks like how it "should have" when it left the factory with that front end on it, real businesses like & professional.

I think the problem is just the seat, not which bike it accompanies :hide:

No I think you're right Vander, it does look better in the flesh though & funnily enough everyone who's been in the garage the last couple of days loves it....
I'm short of a 3AJ seat, the one that came with Tenere 2 was knackered so I'm taking Tenere 4 seat & my 4MY seat to be done at the weekend...

Anyway fitted my re-done rack & indicators....

This thread is just gonna run & run.....

Tenere 3 frame is back..... :funkynanna:

Do you actually do any work (at work) or do you just build bikes all day. :lol:
