Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted December 15, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2022 ELO, ZIGGY, JEFF STARSHIP, MOODY Bs, JOHN MCGLOCK & MO, CALRLOS S, ALAN PP, D'CARS, DP, LESLIE W, ZZT, GFR, JEFF B, EURITHMICS, FM, MTH, DOORS, BTO, CSN&Y, ALICE C, and so many more I of course can't remember now... On my Packtak with Uclear Pulse 40 mm speakers even with earplugs in my Kabuto Ibuki I have to keep the volume down under 75 mph, above that and I'm not really listening anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was bad enough that folks didn't know what 5 1/4 inch floppy was anymore... 1 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

Someone's sure looking forward to spring!! If I might ask, why the concern with Bluetooth standards - are you looking for specific features? My old(er) Bluetooth crap all still interconnects as desired - it's not like it just stops working. As for who's been naughty or nice - I've been naughty this year, but got an Atlas for myself, my g/f, and my dad for our spring ride: Any particular reason you preferred the Atlas vs the Kaoko throttle lock? 1 2019 Niken GT "Motorcycles - the brand is not important, the fact that you ride is."

Mostly that. Nothing wrong with the Kaoko, but Atlas is just more 'my thing' overall. 2015 FJ-09 / FJR touring bags / oil plug mod / Evotech rad guard / SW Motech bash plate / VStream touring windshield / Seat Concepts: Sport Touring / Vcyclenut ABS rings (speedo correction) / Cosmo RAM mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted December 16, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted December 16, 2022 But they don't work with the heated grips oem anyway None that I found Except for Universal NEP Vista Cruise with the transfer bar over the start / stop / mode switch pod Which is a pain i* t** a** because it's so hard to adjust n complicated https://www.soundoffrec.com/products/cruise.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pretend to know how well they fit for every application, just my own. Heated grips aren't important to me, anyway. I might try the Heat Demon idea, but again... Not important if it doesn't work out. I've got perfectly good heated gloves that I've never used... haven't needed them. I can ride in temps around 5 deg C in the rain and at altitude for several hours and it doesn't bother me. There's a way of handling the cold such that you just burn more calories to maintain your body temp rather than needing heated, or warmer, anything. The only thing that bugs me is a foggy visor! I sure wouldn't expect or even hope what works for me would work for anyone else. That's the fun with having options...

Mine has seen more than a few adventures and due to be replaced, also the customer service is stellar with them. My example is after owning for 5 years one of my bolts stripped out for my visor system, I emailed them and they sent me a FREE full replacement visor screw sets/base and paid for the shipping too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layering is for sure the key, smart layering that is. MY Scorpion AT950 has very good fog/condensation control, I'm not a fan of the optical clarity of pinlocks, but I'll be damned if they don't work as advertised. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
