Fly Screen

My mate (street triple owner) has a pair of gerbing heated gloves, he reckons they are brilliant, not cheap, & when you get off remember you're wired to the bike! He says way better than heated grips & your hands are always the first to give up when the temp drops, keep yer digits warm & you'll go much further.

 

Yep heard good things about them heated gloves... But now the weather is getting warmer it must be getting easier... Always worth spending money on good quality clothing...

 

My darling 'current wife' bought me some Alpinestars heated gloves for Christmas - lovely warm waterproof gloves, handy inline switch, good length to the wires... but the gloves are very bulky and hard to 'feel' what your doing - in fact I am so pleased I had a black visor when I pulled up at the lights outside Aldi as when the lights went green could I hell as like get the clutch and throttle balanced due to the thick gloves! When I did get away I GOT away (out the way of an embarrassing school boy error )

 

I have the cowl and fly screen fitted and it does deflect some wind but I am quite tall at 6' 4" so some of the wind blast is still hitting my helmet with the associated wind noise. My wife also has the same Triumph screen fitted to her Street Triple and she says she can duck down out the blast (5' 7").
We have just returned from an 1800 mile tour of Scotland on the bikes and were happy at 80 mph + on the motorway. We have also added SW motec tank bags and great SW Motec soft panniers with quick release frames that keep the panniers off the exhausts, these work fantastic and leave the bikes looking standard after a couple of minutes removing the bags and frames.
I also have fitted Oxford Hot Grips and would say they are one of the best mods I have made; four heat settings and allow me to wear summer gloves most of the year.

 

Sorry to hear you didn't get on with the S3 but good look with the Tuono......... take it that it's the V twin, hear they are a hoot to ride.

 

My mate has a Tuono and loves it. I've ridden it quite a lot but much prefer the SIII. I guess it's horses for courses but I suspect he's gay! Just sayin'...

 

Fair comment! I also heard that it's not gay if you beat 'em up afterwards...

Which Tuono is it? I must admit it was a toss-up (no puns, please) between a gen two and the SIII for me but the SIII suits me better - obviously the other way round for you (again no puns - where is Pig when you need him?). I really did fancy the V4! Enjoy your riding and stay safe.

Generally good apart from a lot of them seem to seize! Just sayin'...

 

Im here honey x. How can i help?

 

No-one knows that better than me - the green one's on it's second engine, third set of clocks, seventh battery, third set of l/h switch gear! If I didn't love riding it so much I would never have bought another one!

 

Bit like Triggers broom in Only Fools & Horses then....

"This old brooms had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time" :biggrin:

 

My Dad has a hammer like that...
