Nice job on that video all gimped up. That’s my favorite content. Watching other guys work to figure out all the snags for me. For that I thank you! 👍🏼

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Haha, glad it helped!

[@Ron_C]

Definitely a bonus that you'll have it all on there before the maiden ride! Also...probably a good idea to be safe and wait on x-rays, imagine if you rebroke any partial healing....that would cause even longer of a wait.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Agreed on both points Ron!

[@217saleen]

Looks like you've got a fun new toy Ben! Hope your healing up fast!

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thank you!

[@scudrunneradv3269]

Ben. I love the new look. You both got high fenders

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Lmao I suppose we did! Thank you!

[@scudrunneradv3269]

SWANKY CAT Did Ron C tell you I went to the dark side.

[@IslandADV]

Good clean install man. Glad to hear you're healing up.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thank you!

[@beachamboy11]

That’s such a cool motorcycle.

[@annien4353]

Missed this last week and I was like what happened to his hair in today's video. Lol your new look is very sharp and you look way younger. Good luck with your appointment. New bike is looking great. Take it easy Ben and stsy positive.

[@wuttmodel3232]

Thank you very much for the great video. You explain and zoom in on the points mentioned, which is nice and easy to understand. Got a good idea, thank you very much. I watched you in Thailand, and your wife and children are so cute.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

I'm glad it helped! It's awesome to hear I have a viewer in Thailand, thank you for sharing that and thank you!!!

[@ArcticJeff]

That beak looks good Ben. Each video your foot is looking better and better. Wont be long now and you'll be posting riding video's of T7. Can't wait!!. Hang in there and don't rush it. Looks like you got your ears lowered, the short hair looks good.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks Jeff! Yeah it's getting there, shouldn't be to long now! Haha just a little bit!

[@frnchfrs]

Love the mod! Really brings the bike together !

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks, yeah I agree. Looks to much like a dirt bike to have a low fender.

[@frnchfrs]

SWANKY CAT yeah from factory this is “business at the front, party at the back” ... now yours is full-on party 👍

[@frnchfrs]

quite the project though ... but thanks for walking us through!

[@Zerzil1974]

Short hair looks good on you buddy! Tenere is probably as anxious as you are!

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thank you! Haha yeah probably!

[@ericwilliams626]

The fender needs its own raditor guard, dropped down at the point of the fenders connection, square in shape with holes, but most importantly a filter you place in it that you switch out on every dirty ride which allows air through, catches dirt and doesn't get in the way of the steering as it moves with the forks though a bit wider than the forks.

[@scudrunneradv3269]

I have the exact lift. I recently bought a different lift from harbor freight that is a bigger more stable platform you can raise while standing up. It also has tie downs to stabilize the bike. I paid $100 for it. Really stable.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Nice! I've looked at those too, if I had the space it would be nice to have one someday.

[@scudrunneradv3269]

SWANKY CAT Foot print isn’t much bigger than the one you have. When I get back home I’ll send a picture of it.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

@@scudrunneradv3269 oh maybe I don't know which one you mean then.

[@scudrunneradv3269]

SWANKY CAT I’ll send info and picture.

[@elderrider9298]

Looks Good

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks! I actually figured out how to mount the bigger fender now, it was a bit of a shock at first but I like how it looks much better new and it keeps the bike much cleaner haha.

[@xc800jerry8]

Go Jamin it's looking good

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks Jerry!

[@jeffmoulton6600]

What lift is that? Love these videos Ben! Glad you are up and at it. Hoping for good news with x-rays! KLR toast?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Ooops sorry, I put a link in the description for the lift now lol I'm glad you said something! Thanks, I'm glad your enjoying them! X rays went ok, still got another two weeks in a walking boot though :/ KLR is indeed toast... just got the news late this week. I'm glad it is since I wouldn't feel good about selling it after that impact but it is pretty sad...

[@jeffmoulton6600]

SWANKY CAT thanks! Well at least it’s getting better. Two weeks is nothing in the big scheme of things! Two more weeks for Mods! LoL. Good call on the KLR, sad, it was definitely a favorite of mine!

[@lessmore444]

Camel turns out some quality Canuck farkles. I'm guessing the anti bobblehead braces are next. Solid solution to the rubbery dash/headlamp issue. Gut guard dude.. Don't skip that upgrade!

[@profighter1234]

Swank...are there supposed to be two tubes going into the radiator overflow plastic tank? The white reservoir? Mine cracked, I ordered a new one and see the hose for the top of the white plastic overflow tank but no hose for the bottom part. I gotta get on my bike again but don't wanna over heat it! Thanks man. Lemme know.

[@hardworkingamerican8847]

Cat says hurry up with my bike .

[@jimriley2812]

Well, you’ve messed me up for the rest of my life!!! Class, license and I believe bike next month. Think I’m just gonna get a 250, either XT250, crf or wr. Leaning toward crf. Those just because I can pick one up cheap and quick so I can get a ride in this year. Tenere next year.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Haha that's awesome Jim! Nothing like riding trials on a dual sport. And I can't wait to see how much fun the Tenere will be out on the back roads... if this foot ever heals up I will give you a few more reasons to get one!

[@jimriley2812]

SWANKY CAT dang, sry to hear you’re still down. That appointment must not have a gone too hot I take it? I think it’s safe to say, albeit maybe hard for you to believe, that most of us out here are quite anxious for you to be back up as well. Soon enough man but I do feel your pain. Had a hernia surgery put me down over 60 days a few years back. Worse experience of my life. Not the surgery or the pain or any of that. Just not being able to do anything.

[@porkulator3]

It looks great but I think this front fender must be larger.

[@marshall3498]

Is there enough room for upper crash bars brace with using the high finder kit?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

I think some bars would work but not all, I've seen a few that mount to low and would interfere.

[@southerndualsport3827]

Bikes lookin great 👍 you lost some weight off your head haha! 👍🏻

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks! Haha yeah I'm saving a lot of soap and water too lol.

[@jasenhaynes8046]

What you do to the klr? Klr will never die

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Tomorrows video will explain!

[@jered2177]

Hard to beat that bike for the money

[@icey6404]

How are you up so early bruh

[@SwankyCatProductions]

It was a scheduled upload haha.

[@jeffnicks2128]

did you cut your hair so your snowmobile helmet fits better LOL looks like a chore to change plugs as well!

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Actually it was just taking to long to wash, hard to stand on one foot that long haha.

[@gda101]

Who's the new guy on Sir Swanky of Cats' channel?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Haha what do you mean?!?!

[@xtina818]

What stand is that? And where did you get it?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

There should be a link to it in the description. I recently learned that they don't actually recommend lifting the Tenere on the skid plate though... Oooops.

[@jimriley2812]

Again, off topic. Check out Rocky Mountain ATV Red Rocks to Mountain tops. 4 part KZbin series. Definitely on my bucket list. Didn’t even have one till now!!

[@markcoleman2960]

What tires have you put on there. Dont appear to be the OEM.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Motoz Tractionators! You can get them from Pacific Power Sports. They are supposed to be an awesome tire!

[@markcoleman2960]

@@SwankyCatProductions so you swapped them out before even riding it?

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Yep, the stock tires are extremely similar to Shinko 804 805 big blocks which I've ran before. It's a long story but I knew I wouldn't have crash bars right away so I wanted something that would really help well off road to help keep me upright.

[@longrider9551]

I did the opposite on my klr and made a rally fender for it, the africa twin came with a lower rally render and I left it

[@SwankyCatProductions]

What do you like about the low fender? Looks? Performance? Both?

[@longrider9551]

@@SwankyCatProductions I can't speak to the performance at all I just like the way it looks lowered more like one of those racing rally bikes

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Sure, I'd just assumed having a lower fender would help contain mud and water a noticeable amount. I've got a bad feeling my bike will be really messy with as small as my new fender is lol.

[@longrider9551]

@@SwankyCatProductions only dirt 😜

[@JaydubyaX]

Did you use a kit..? Is there a kit for the KLR that lowers the fender? Can you attach a link to it here? I like the rally fender look..actually think its what makes the Tenere so badass looking.

Fender looks too short, maybe use a fender off of a modern 450 motocross bike. New hair looks great tho!

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of it lol. I'll see how bad it is an might try something else.

Stupid designs from the manufacturer. Making an adv bike without thinking what's important... Great project thanks for sharing!

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Thanks! Yeah I think they were just copying KTM and the Africa Twin haha.

[@TheOriginalArcticEd]

What ??? A HAIRCUT ????? :D Incidentally, to get the absolute last tiny bubble out of your brake, pull the lever in and use a zip tie to hold it overnight. Hope you get a ride on that bad bitch soon!

[@SwankyCatProductions]

Haha yeah it was taking to long to wash since I have to stand on one foot the whole time. I'll give that a try, thanks! Ugh yeah I cannot wait!

[@shanebalthazor3789]

Hmm I'm not sure about the high fender

[@SwankyCatProductions]

It a growing on me lol. I really like it on other bikes I've seen. I think I'm just not sure about the fender I used but either way I think it'll be better for off roading.

[@shanebalthazor3789]

If it works for ya nice choice then

[@tippytailmckitty2658]

Does your son recognize you now? Haircut is pretty dramatic. Lol.

[@SwankyCatProductions]

He actually watched it happen and did not care one but haha. I really figured he would be weirded out but nope.

[@bobkelly2447]

I disagree with your assessment of the new fender..... your radiator and front of the engine will be caked with mud and the cooling ability will be gone... the original fender would cure that problem all you had to do is find a way to tuck the lines in so they couldn't snag anything... but sense you have the new fender on.... how about putting a piece of the dirt bike fender onto the back of the new fender so the radiator is protected ? use pop rivets to attach it to the plastic fender or small bolts but use about 6 evenly spaced attachments... and you should probably have fender washers under the bolts holding the fender on.... my experience with plastic fenders is a bad one they break easily and do not hold up over a long time and need to be replaced...... sorry to hear of your accident on the KLR.... it does look like the rear swingarm is bent or the bolt is sheared or bent that holds it.... I am very glad you weren't hurt any more than you were.... and yes it makes you a little nirvice getting back on once you have been hurt on a bike..... but it only lasts for a few weeks ....trust me ! LOL.... street riding is dangerous... the competition out weighs you alot.... but to survive you have to drive defensively... anticipate that idiot that isn't going to stop...... been there done that several times ! always spouting the normal refrain...." I didn't see you!" .... it's complacency in driving ! you look then pull out and find you pulled out infront of someone..... look and see but it doesn't register.... that there was a car coming..... this just happened to me here recently.... luckily after i hit the gas to pull out, i then hit the breaks and re looked..... and there was a big pickup going 65mph that I almost pulled out in front of..... it would have killed us..... why did that happen ? I have been driving for half a century, I know better !..... but when you get complacent you over look things..... and that one over looking of things almost cost us our lives..... so don't do what I did... on a bike it's worse... you will be hurt ... in a car your chances are better , but not guaranteed... Humans make mistakes.... it happens ! no one is perfect.... but make a mistake in a car or on a bike .... that really hurts..... so don't do that ! LOL..... Bob.......

[@SwankyCatProductions]

I know exactly what you mean about being a little too comfortable while driving or riding. It's hard to stay vigilant at all times, especially on the back roads. After lots of miles you can get sort of lulled into a state of easy which isn't good, especially on a bike. The guy who hit me was blindly cutting across my lane in a hurry and didn't see me since there was a can just ahead of me in the left lane. Not really sure what he was thinking but I suppose he just wasn't. As for the fender, I'm not sure if it'll be a big issue or not. I anticipate having to wash out the radiator once in a while but so far it hasn't been bad. I think grafting a new back on is a good idea, but I don't really like the front to begin with ha ha. I think I might try the other YZ fender I have sometime.

[@evansamekudzi5612]

High fenders are a bad idea.. Dirt and grime hit u harder.. At least for those of us whom motorcycles are the only vehicles we have meaning we ride whether rain or shine..
