Apparently it means "Touring Edition" or "Travel Edition"k9doc wrote: Sat Sep 27, 2025 9:09 pm Would be grateful if anyone knows what TE means (it does have ESA) and piccies tomorrow if the sun shines.
Cheers for that. Wondering if it refers to the ESA. Don't know if some come without it. Not much else that I can see.
The only i fitted for a mate was black with anodized black bolts and spacers. A quick look and you wouldn't have known it was there, as he found when he tried to ride off. Lucky he caught the bike before it went over. He never did that again.Steve398 wrote: Sat Sep 27, 2025 5:57 pm I watched the videos, read the instructions (which weren’t that great) several times, then headed for the garage and figured out myself. Now fitted and working.
If you’re OCD then note that the slightly more expensive anodised gold one isn’t the same shade as the Brembo’s or the forks.

, looks a nice tidy clean job and saves carrying a seperate discs lock. Presumably there’s zero chance of the lock engaging whilst riding ?.Absolutely no chance at all Martin. The pin that physically locks the disc is actually a separate piece of hardened steel that you insert through the Roadlok into a hole in the disc. This can only be done when stationary. I keep the pin in the fairly useless glove box.Panman40 wrote: Sun Sep 28, 2025 9:28 pm 3 shades of gold then Steve
