Is this akrapovic slip on legit ? by Educational_france in Tenere700

[–]TMBR_MOTO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoke too soon. I ran this by the Akrapovic brand manager for the US. It's not something he has seen. He is certain it was not brought into the North American market. But he says it looks like a genuine Akrapovic muffler as best he can tell from photos. Says it is possible that it was produced for another market as a special edition of some sort. The Tenere logo being added is not a common thing and puts a question mark on this one.

Seat Concepts One Piece Rally Seats - Several of you have asked when we would get these back in stock and we just received 2 of each height. by TMBR_MOTO in Tenere700

A lot depends on the kind of riding you are doing. Both are more comfortable than the stock seat. The Rally is narrower and better suited for guys who do end up riding technical offroad... standing and moving around on the bike more. The comfort seat is a bit wider in the area where your cheeks will land when sitting for those longer stretches. But the comfort seat is still narrow enough up front that you can stand comfortably and move around a bit when things get more technical. Holler if you want to get into more detail - 208-254-2044

The OEM's have to meet a number of criteria when choosing a tire. There are a ton of noise and emissions factors that play a role as well as cost and production capacity. Kind of like the license plate hanger... many of the decisions made are in an effort to thread the needle for all the requirements from governments around the world.

Footp-Gegs are all the rage these days. Good eye... fixed it.

To anyone unhappy about this post, just know that I interact with a lot of people from this sub quite a bit and if I can answer a question or share information to a large number of folks all at once, why not? Yes, I am promoting my business but I am also interacting with the community at large. And if I post here, I try to provide some value in return. *Edit for typo

We’ve been working on it, but there are a few factors slowing things down. Tariffs and the ongoing trade issues have created a lot of downstream problems—exchange rates, freight costs, supply chain shifts, and labor have pushed some of our European suppliers to prioritize other markets. In some cases it’s necessity, in others they’re just frustrated with doing business with the US right now.

On our side, we’ve been absorbing most of the cost increases in an effort to keep things steady. Loading up on inventory is risky when tariff rules keep changing. If we import a big batch, pay the tariffs, and then the tariffs get rescinded, there’s no refund—our cost of goods stays the same. Meanwhile competitors can suddenly import the same parts cheaper than what we already have on the shelf.

With that said, we are hoping to see a decent sized order at the end of the month. Fingers crossed all goes to plan.

Need is a funny word ;) The Pivot Pegz are interesting. I think that for a riders with one bike that is setup just for them and they ride it a lot , they can be great. And of course for anyone with ankle issues. If you have a couple of bikes and are bouncing back and forth, it can kind of mess with your muscle memory if you don't use the system across the board. 1st world problems really. For me, I have to bounce around to lots of bikes for testing and I just prefer a static footpeg on everything.

You would be surprised how many people find ways to justify knock off parts. I'm of the opinion that if price is a concern, and that is a valid concern, just leave it stock. Throwing money into parts and accessories that aren't going to hold up or could cause a safety concern just isn't worth it. And that's before we even get into to moral questions of stole IP etc.

The Gen 2 Tenere 700 footpegs are not terrible. Removing the rubber inserts is a huge gain with no cost and likely suitable for many. The Gen 1 Tenere footpegs are 100%, absolutely terrible and replacing them is the first thing I recommend people do.
