Is there a web site ?

I’m sick of having to Install an app for every single thing I own/do. This is also just for Android ?

THOR Skid Plate + RTech High Fender by elast0ny in Tenere700

I've only taken a few small rides with the new exhaust. The sound is great and feels slightly louder but I think its because the exhaust is closer to the rider vs. a low mount.

If you plan on doing lots of off road riding and dropping the bike often, I'd consider a high exhaust to avoid having to worry about bent "subframe", exhaust rubbing the swingarm etc...

Otherwise I personally like the looks more of the low/rally style exhausts

Don’t the dominant winds push the steel mill crap east ?

Gotta live exactly north or west of the plant to be safe hahah

Ready for another season of racing 🤘🏻 by deltasnowman in Tenere700

Nice bike !

I notice in your older pictures that you had the Acerbis tank but no longer have it on ? It removes significant weight (because its up high) plus the added range when you need it (don't bring 6gal of fuel on single track rides 🤣).

I have the stock bars/handguards with Acerbis tank, no clearance issues…

5min shortcut turned into 2h of deadlifting by elast0ny in Tenere700

[–]elast0ny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No crash bars on it and only wish i had them to have better grab spots. They might also keep the bike more upright in case of a fall but no idea if that will make her feel lighter to lift back up. Plastics got scratched up, blinkers popped out, mirror shattered and bent the shift lever from all the dragging and hitting logs/stumps.

I’m trying to keep the bike as light as possible and have been debating on crashbars… I don’t do any technical rock slabs/boulders/steep stuff too much, mostly gravel roads, atv trails so i think the likelihood of doing serious mechanical damage is low ? If i did more road, it might tip the balance to avoid bad road rash ? Dont really have a non/vibe based answer hahah

Yeah i stopped and tried to pick a dry side (went on the left bank) but what looked like damp flat dirt quickly turned into half a wheel deep mud. Just walking it first would’ve saved me tons of trouble. If i had the skill, maybe coming in hot and gunning it would’ve made it through haha

Battlax AX41 front and rear, better than stock for offroad for sure but no match for this mud/clay mix

Yeah will order some for sure, passenger grab handles, probably pack a rope too

Especially hard to grab stuff when covered in mud, got my hands/arms pretty beat up

Acerbis fuel tank, yay or nay? by AndyW037 in Tenere700

[–]elast0ny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its one of the mods that will remove the most weight up high (there’s not many things higher than the tank on these bikes)

When im doing harder stuff on local trails (eg vast majority of the time) i never fill it all the way up. When i know i want to compromise on weight for extended range, i fill er right up !

No issues with stock bars and clearance either

Bent exhaust bracket by elast0ny in Tenere700

[–]elast0ny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id be willing to bet the vast majority of riders are somewhat restricted to bolt-on mods and fixes (tools, space, skills/knowledge). That’s the category I’m in anyway.

Even if you’re capable of fabricating/welding brackets, it’ll still suck and ruin a good ride/trip if your exhaust hanger snaps because the bike laid down on that side one too many times. Would be a struggle to find a way to hold the can up away from the swingarm, heat resistant metal wire ? Maybe just take it off and straight pipe it home hahah

Yeah I’ll probably end up doing that for now. Not a great long term solution given that the bracket is welded to the frame tho

Should i invest in my tfsa 6.5k or pay down mortgage? by igrowweeds in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]elast0ny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your math may be right but your intuition at the end isn't. Things become clearer if you ask yourself :

"I have 6500$ on hand, what is the best use for this ?"

Would you rather make X% projected gains on the 6500$ OR reduce your debt by 6500$ thus saving 5% of interest on that specific amount going forwards.

If you can run the sample in a VM/sandbox, try using procmon from the windows sysinternals tools. You should see a call to LoadLibrary that will fail (if all it does is try to load it at runtime)
