hold out for the bike from @w.adventures

 

Just put in my order for the Lego BMW M1000 RR

 

Lots of FJR owners, me included, use FZ1. I took mine off my 07 following its wreck and it's now on my 14. Easy install and never had any issues in about 8 years of use. Allows 6 circuits and you set for switched or unswitched in the fuse block itself. PM me if you need more info. I think I can find the installation instructions and send a phot of them if you want.

 

I want one real ducking badly. But not that badly

 

Have you seen this yet?

Yep. Makes me want to do that on my CT90

 

Cruise on up to @spencermarkd house and do it together!

 

Down. But the question is, do it on the ct90 (ct140?) or slap some knobbies on the Navi and take that

The CT125’s are impossible to get still. My local dealers gotten 2 since they’ve released and has a waiting list 50+ people deep. It’s wild. While that price is stupid, I bet someone will pay it.

 

There were some near me. Maybe see if you can find a dealership to order and ship from?

 

Got a break from the rain so got to ride today. Nothing special, just running a few errands and hitting up harbor freight. Half way through, I kicked myself for not layering up a little more. Hands were numb by the time I got home.

 

Knobbies on the navi.

you already scored one?

 

I have my deposit down. Should hopefully be here any day now. I need to give them a call tuesday and see if they have a specific day. When I stopped in before Christmas they just said early January

 

I’m jealous as hell. I need to pay off my 300L and buy one

 

Gah! I hate that! Hands going numb is my main limiting factor in riding below 45 F or so. Was hoping my latest attempt at heated gloves would help but they are going back. Could only feel warmth in the thumb and index finger...

 

problem with riding older bikes is my avoidance to adding electric farkles / heated anything to it.

i go this route from my urban bicycle commuter days. No armor, but seriously helps with warmth.

 

Yeah, I'm mostly trying to extend my commuting days. Wanted to support a US company if at all possible, and gloves are really well made, just don't heat up like I need them to...

I thought about the Hippo Hands route but that looks seriously cumbersome!

 

I used Hippo Hands many years ago on my FJ1100. While they look really bulky and cumbersome they're not that way when in use. Worked great when combined with a medium weight glove in some pretty damned cold temps. I don't even recall what ever happened to mine or why I never replaced them. I have no issues though with my Gerbing heated gloves so I guess I forgot all about the Hippo Hands.

 

Dibs on whatever you don’t want to ride. Just let me know when to fly out!
