Super Tenere 1200: Hwy Peg Mounts & O2 Sensor, Water Pump & Header Protection (utilizing Altrider crash bars & skid plate)

Image
1/8" 6061 aluminum stock $20 (Metal Supermarkets), no specialty tools used, jig saw, hand drill, flat & round metal file, wet/dry cloth sand paper, work bench drawer & counter used for bending jig, one 4" x 1" galvanized right angle bracket, two 1" x 5/8" right angle brackets with custom bend (dbled together for added strength), stainless button head hardware w/nylock nuts, used folding hwy pegs ($25 craigslist) & Dominion Sure Seal EZ Liner Black Bedliner & Industrial Strength Coating (attempt to match the Rhino coated skid pate & add scuff resistance). Several hours of R & D to finalize design & fitment. Of course none of this would have been necessary if I had a RideOnAdv or ACD skid plate because of their high side design that offers additional protection & mounting points for the pegs, but necessity is the mother of invention or so they say.  Peg location is approx same height as the rider pegs of approx 14.5" & 16.
