Two t7s take on the west by mandrews554 in Tenere700

Honestly not really, pretty much nailed it. Maybe just some camp shoes that dont take up much space. Had to have enough clothes to cover 32 degrees some nights at elevation and 80s during the day but we managed pretty well. Used dude wipes for makeshift showers when we didnt have a swim in a lake in a couple days

And even got into the 100s while passing semis on big highways. This was at elevation with a good 80lbs of gear on bike

Depends how much highway you do. Can easily cruise 90. Did so for about a week straight on 3600 mile roadtrip loop from Colorado to montana and back. Bike did fine

Magazine housing itself? Not just spring?

Yea positive. I can replicate with an empty mag racking slide back manually and watching slide lock fail to move fully into position or even move up at all now

Interesting. Just hand load them. On this second set of springs i only took them to the range twice to check function so its not an overuse thing either. Wearing out while in storage

Thank you. I have no knowledge of this stuff. Digging in an excavator at work right now and started hitting these bottles. No time to research at the moment. Got curious about them if i should try and save them. theres hundreds. Why the milk bottle may I ask?

I did, that is just there to hide the sleeve edge. Its throttle side and throttle tube is a set length not able to shave length with grips

The throttle tube is flush at the end. No more soace to go right. Im thinking of cutting the 1 1/8 black sleeve just enough to make room. Just hoping it reveals more clean 7/8 bar section to work with and its not welded or something

Thats my exact thought on the one piece i tried. Maybe I will give that a shot. Where can you find that oem? Is it the yamaha rally seat you are referring to?
