• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

cold weather will travel

just got these put on and they are GREAT but you have to put mounts in the bar ends or when you go fast they will push on your handbrake or your clutch ( I of course do not have a clutch) but OUTSTANDING wind and cold protection, of course after 6 nights of working it was under 0 with the wind when I got up, GOT to ride.
 
I've talked about getting something very similar. Bruce aka Director posted some he got last year and said they worked great. Yeah, we are back to below freezing temps again for a short time. I wish it would just get warm and stay there.
 
I've been thinking about getting a set of Gauntlets for my Spyder as well. I can ride my sled using just my heavy gloves down to -20F but on the Spyder, using the same gloves, my hands freeze even at 30F... no wind protection.
 
I think with those am some heated grips you could ride without gloves or at least some light gloves.:doorag:

I think that would be true, I don't want to screw with anthing electrical if possible on the spyder, and I can take this off quick once its not below 0 when I get up.

I will have a full test of them this weekend on the trip to the cities.
 
Good Mod

Uncomplicated, Not Expensive, Great way to get rid of the wind chill factor and they peel right off when the temps get warm.
 
My Gerbing heated gloves are great! My "wrench" put heat demons on for me also - one mod I wouldn't recommend - way to much work for so little heat.
 
ATV mitts

+I've used a set of these on every bike since the late 70s, and they've continued to work fine for me on RAKNID (down to 1*F this past winter).

However, I'm extremely pleased to have removed them now that Spring has sprung. I continue to wear my snowmobile mitts in the cold mornings though.

I, too, don't like either electrics, or messing with the electrical components.

Ride on.
