Not everyone wants to go adventuring on a 600-pound bike. It’s refreshing to throw a leg over a nice little enduro from time to time so you can get to more places without the fear of getting stuck, or worrying about having to pick up your bike for the umpteenth time.

The 2013 Husqvarna TE 310 is one of the most fun, more-than-capable street legal dual-sport bikes on the market. ADVMoto wanted to add a little more protection and off-road comfort to their little Husky, so we turned to the folks at Touratech for a few smart cost effective improvements.

Starting with the twin radiators that are most susceptible to damage in the event of a crash, we installed the Touratech radiator cages to protect the sides from hard impacts. These little gems basically sandwich the radiator between two thick pieces of aluminum creating a “cage.”

The next upgrade was for an area that often gets overlooked on the Husqvarna TE310. When the kickstarter re-coils, sometimes it comes in contact with the throttle body, and that can leave you stranded, should it get damaged. The solution was Touratech’s Kick Start Lever Stop, a small aluminum part that does the trick.

Next, we moved on to the protecting the controls. There’s nothing like having your ride cut short because of a broken clutch or brake lever. Touratech’s high impact plastic handguards are some of the best looking on the market. The stainless hardware is a nice touch, too, but we’d prefer just plain steel to make for easier removal when servicing hand grips.

Lastly, we wanted to raise the handlebars so they were in comfortable reach when standing—important for correct off-road riding geometry. For this we installed Touratech’s trick red anodized 24mm Risers. They relax the geometry when seated and put the bars within perfect reach for added control while riding in the standing position.

When it comes to customizing bikes, sometimes a collection of little changes can make a big difference. Touratech’s TE310 add-ons provide great little improvements in comfort, protection and peace of mind.
