You will need to add a Tenere fuel pump for one thing, due to the fact the tank petcocks are lower than the carb fuel inlet. The airbox and tank supports also come to mind...

Tenere tank

The seat and maybe the side panels might be different also.

The early Tenere's had airbox under the seat, later ones had airbox under the petrol tank, so would probably be best to get a pre 87 tank (28 litres). Front mounting points are pretty much the same for all XT600s , not sure about the rear mounts. As the other guy said, you will need to plumb in a fuel pump, easy to do.

Exclamation 34L tank will do the trick

the 34L (83-85) tank can be used without fuel pump. the later models (3AJ) will not fit so easy.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
