How about hand guards ?

 

I was thinking about those and other options for Winter riding. I opted to try a pair of heated gloves which I'm very pleased with so far. I'm thinking some engine bars would also be a good buy as the engine cases look quite exposed and would suffer with even a low speed getoff.

 

That was the first thing I added. The hand guards came from the Triumph 900 rally as they fit from the bar end and to the mirror mount. You need something for hand protection if colder weather riding

 

A very good point. You ride home on the first day with a car following you with a boot full of new parts taken off. The up sell by the dealer was that when you sell your bike on you put it all back on again and resell all the upgrades !

 

I have a car to sell first and was looking at getting a Harley soft tail slim or an Indian Scout. Just need to sell the car then decide if it is a "Want or Need".

 

I replaced the Halogen bulb with a LED and it's a marked improvement, maybe not as good as an OEM LED but certainly better. The light is much neared daylight in colour so makes the Halogen look yellow by comparison. I also added some discreetly mounted LED spotloights for added visibility. Can't see why they would comporomise the retro look if it came with LED from the factory. On the exhust front, I'm not really interested in a noisier one as Ilike the standard sound but the price of aftermarket exhausts has always amazed me. I had a custom made, 3" bore system, around 2 metres long in stainless steel made up for a 4x4 for just under £500, guaranteed for life (for as long as I keep the vehicle) and Triumph want over £800 for a V&H silencer. It's a joke and we know who's laughing.

 

Good information on the lights. On the costs of V&H exhausts and others I agree they are too expensive. Stainless steel pipe welded and a badge. I know they have to cover the R&D on a product, but really ? £800.00. Sometimes it becomes greedy.

 

Got to be LED headlight for me, I live out in the sticks and it's really bad compared to my car with LED's. I have fitted a Denali spotlight to add some extra wattage but an uplift to the primary light source would be great.
