Russell Day-Long Custom Saddle By Gerald Massey Though for years my Iron Butt friends have sworn by the Day-Long custom saddles; being something of a non-conformist (i.e. hard-headed) I had never gone down that path. I am not new to custom or semi-custom seats, having had a full drive-in custom seat built for my prior…
I can’t say enough about the great suspension on my bike. Thank you Alex Martens of Konflict Motorsports! Last summer before the big August ride in Cle Elum the stock rear shock failed on my 2012. I pretty much had two options, go through the process with Yamaha to get it replaced, or upgrade. It…
Glen, Thought I would pass along an update as to the tire wear after our ride to Arkansas. Weather for the most part stayed below 90°F for most of the ride with a couple of good rain and wind storms thrown in. Tires hung in there well and are now at 21,000 km [~13,050 mi].…
From our Canadian counterpart, Bernie. He and Doug put Heidenaus on one of their S-Tens, Mitas on the other. And now they’re road-testing them by heading from Vancouver Island, BC, to the S-Ten Rally in Arkansas. Glen, good to hear from you. Your timing is good. I was just outside taking a few pics. of…

I kept it full of my C-pap gear, spare gloves, camera, assorted chargers and a 25′ extension cord. It answered plenty of my luggage solutions while on the…
Review: Helmet Clip made by Andrew Schauer Hi guys! While at the Cle Elum ride a few weeks ago I met Andrew Schauer (AndrewS from the forums). He’s a Tenere owner from Wenatchee who has a great little invention for locking our helmets to the bike. It’s a very simple little hook that attaches under…
Second Review: Pathfinder tank bag from Moto-Montana Outfitters I got the Pathfinder tank bag installed on the bike; it didn’t take too long, only about 5 minutes, and I didn’t even need the provided instructions. It’s really secure with just the 4 straps and the two anti-slip pads that keep the buckles off your tank.…
Hi PNW Tenere crew! I’m going to write a review of Kyle’s Pathfinder tank bag in 3 segments. I’ll update it after I get it mounted on the bike and then again from the road as we head to the HU meeting in Yosemite Sept 25-28. 1st impressions: Well made, sturdy, lots of features. Click…
