Tenere 700 Adjustable, Foldable Levers Bought from AliExpress online Quality & finish seem good, but will have to see how the bushing tolerances hold up over use.  The brake lever interfaces good with my Motorcycle Cruise 2 throttle lock. Almost forgot to transfer the bushing for the clutch...that would have made for sloppy clutch play....lol. Motorcycle Cruise 2 Throttle Lock Shorty Clutch Lever Alteration Removed the extension to create a true shorty for the clutch lever after installing the Camel 1 Finger Clutch Mod that allows lever travel completely to the grip vs previously hitting my knuckles...it improves modulation with the wider engagement range of the Camel mod.

The Enduristan Sandstorm 4H is a 7 litre, semi-rigid 100% waterproof 3 layer extremely durable design with detachable waterproof map pocket, has more flex than other Enduristan tank bags & sits mostly on top of the protruding fuel cap...it rests on the Tech Spec Tank pad at the back & the very front of the tank (added another piece of Tech Spec Tank Pad) as it slopes down toward the steering head.  I added inner tubes to the 4 attachment points for added protection of the paint.  Mounting at the front is via a yoke strap with 2 large plastic quick detach buckles that remain on the bike & snapped together when not in user.  The back mount is via Rok Straps made to Enduristan's specs, permanently attached to the bag & 2 frame mount female buckles secured via proprietory wide zap straps. Tank Mounted   Tail Bag Mounting The Rok Straps at the rear of the bag tuck into a cavity between the bag bottom & the exterior pad....a design feature so that the bag can be worn
