I just bought an inexpensive one. I might invest more money if I enjoy it. The main thing I found about cameras is to make sure they are compatible with all your other electronics. I use Android and PC based equipment. Here at the house, I have built quite a wireless network for all my activities. I already have 2 cameras I used for Zoom sessions during the Pandemic. After I practice a bit, maybe I can post some stuff. ...J.D.
They look similar to some soft throw overs I bought some years ago (Oxford Cargo IIRC) for trips on the ZZR, plus an Oxford cylindrical type holdall across the back seat, all waterproof. I stuck some foam padding to the undersides of the panniers for extra protection. Unlike the agricultural looking adventure bikes that seem so popular these days, modern bikes with acres of plastic bodywork aren't very luggage friendly unless you buy the manufacturer's matching hard luggage costing £££. In my panniers and pack I can get a 4 midget tent, inflatable mattress & pillow, 12v pump, sleeping bag, small gas stove, steel mug, milk, tea bags plus a small toiletries bag and towel. More than enough for a few days away riding/exploring.
I use that very back protector, @learningtofly. I'm very happy with it. Loads of protection and it's very flexible and comfortable and does a reasonable job of flowing air. And, no, don't take chances any more!
If you've not already thought of this make sure any paintwork they touch is well protected to avoid it getting scratched. A few layers of gaffer tape will do if you're not going to use them much or some helicopter tape if yiu want a more robust solution
I bought a new force field today...... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20438843...GsqUo9UTo-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Bought another set of Raximo adjustable levers for my Street Triple a few weeks ago having felt the huge difference they made on the Honda. I had them fitted today and they feel (and look!) great on the Street Triple too. If I ever get another bike I think this will be one of the first changes I make - bike manufacturers don't seem to cater for the very small of hand .
I'm not surprised you bought a second set for your Triumph, @Mrs Visor. I did the same thing for my Fat Boy after installing and loving them on my Street Glide. I think levers are often something that are overlooked and "they are what they are" which is amazing because we use them continually!
This is not my latest purchase but it is "all in the family". Yesterday morning Steve traded his 2017 Street Glide for this 2021 Road Glide Special. It only has 2500 miles on it and he got a good deal on it and a more than fair trade. It was owned by a cop in the Tucson area who added some nice touches and clearly cared for it very well. Our sales buddy at Tucson Harley said that the guy's wife had a baby and it was "bye-bye bike". His loss, our garages gain.
@Sandi T that's a lovely low mileage bike that Steve got - wishing him many miles of happiness on it!
