I actually thought about doing one glove that way and having the other opposite yesterday but forgot. I usually do trailing edge over leading edge, so the water would in theory roll off the glove and up the jacket under wind instead of being able to blow up the sleeve. I have Barkbuster Storm guards fitted though and I think they give enough protection I may be able to try sleeve over glove.

After some rain riding, I finally got tired of having to be mindful of keeping my wrists above my elbows. If I reach down, the water on my jacket shell runs into my gloves (waterproof) and soaks the liner making my hands cold. Upon looking and looking, the only product that even comes close to what I'm looking for is the Frostos glove by RUKKA, but it's insulated. Does any glove similar to this, with a storm/double cuff exist without insulation?

Rubber, maybe silicone? I bought 10 pairs from Northern Safety that took FOREVER to ship, but they're still $1.25 a pair or so. https://www.forestry-suppliers.com/p/94449/40770/tasco-tri-grip-reusable-earplugs They do start out a little stiff, even with the cord out, but they quickly soften up after wearing them on a ride. I can tell the difference in a new pair but it's not an issue at all. I get more discomfort from the bottom of my ear being pressed against my head from my cheek pad. Edit: be sure you do wash them occasionally, or you'll end up being unable to grab and pull them out of your ear unassisted. Not that I figured that out on my own. A paper napkin helps add friction while you grab if you're sweaty though, or so I've heard.

Tasco Tri-Grip. Pull the cord out of them, trim about 1/8" off the stem with a knife so it fits in the helmet better and enjoy a nice 27NRR that you can barely feel

Home Depot/Lowe's sells small pieces of heat shrink for 8/2 wire, which happens to be a snug 7/8" inner diameter but maybe too thick compared to tape. I'm still torn on OEM or Oxford, OEM would seemingly have to come from Europe and Oxford would require aftermarket terminals or wiring work to connect

For those who installed OEM... Did you have to ship them from Europe? I google the part number for the kit and all I see is a few dealers in Italy and the UK selling them with no less than $30 shipping

So thanks to another thread on this forum, I learned that my '19 non-GT apparently has factory wiring for heated grips, much like it has the wiring for a quickshifter (which is an easy and worthwhile install). Do the OEM part number grips work any better or worse than an aftermarket set? I know Yamaha wants like $200-something for theirs, and Oxford is about half - is there a solid brand where the grips themselves can be changed but keep the heating elements on the bar?

So the OEM part number (2PP829A00100) should be plug and play on the non-GT models right? The ECU will detect it, similar to the quickshifter?

I guess depending on how you mount them, these would accomplish close to a 1" square of movement. Is there a decent company for new cables? Even if I do ProTaper bars, I would need longer so I may as well start figuring them out

I am looking at putting some different form of bar setup on my '19. I have 3 options in my head: Add 2" ROX anti-vibration risers to it, to bring the bars up a bit and smooth them out a little Mount taller risers to begin with, adding ROX to them and then running a flatter bar so I can mount stuff to the bars easier. Switching to ProTaper ADV bars on stock risers and keeping the rest stock. I need to know if the stock cables (clutch, throttle, electrical) are long enough for an extra 2-3" of bar height or if I need to order longer for them as well?

Oh yeah the MV triples are incredibly gorgeous. If there's a dealer around and you want the Italian bike life, I don't think you could go wrong

I don't believe so, other than EXCESSIVELY purging the system once it's finished. That involves bleeding the system like normal, then going for a ride and making the ABS engage a little, bleed again, ride and make ABS trip again, bleed and you're done.

Either a new Tracer with cruise control and all of the tech, or an Africa Twin probably? I'd consider a Tuareg as well because they're designed to be worked on easily in the middle of nowhere

They are unfortunately too slim in the waist, much to my chagrin, as every review mentioned regarding the size chart. They do fit my Toucans, but not my twoass(cheeks) very well. However, I now have a size 50EU pair of Klim Kodiaks for sale that I need to post here... Or trade for a 52 if someone has a pair

I have a pair of Klim Kodiak on the way from eBay.. hopefully they fit over my boots
