getting chilly ?
 
so far this week I've loaned out both pairs of muffs (for evaluation purposes), had 3 people ask me about heated grips, sold one old set I had and have 2 sets of the cheap heater elements to help fit next week, I guess people are starting to feel the chill, I haven't put the fuse back in on the S4 or fitted the heated seat or heated grips to the Pegaso as yet, but nice to know the stuff's there when needed.

Dress up warm people; especially when the sun goes down.

Cheers Mark.

BMW already do a heated seat!

My Oxford hot grips have given up, so after a new pair. I'm not willing to waste money on them again, so what's a good alternative please?

Pete ;)

Was thinking along the lines of catheter bag, topping up the cooling system.

Pete thicker gloves ;)

I've been fitting the element kits for a few years now for those on a budget at less than a tenner they are a good alternative to grips, they last a couple of years, but most just throw them away come summer.

Best solution... handguards with muffs over the top and heated grips.

Just need to go scrounge more neoprene to make MYC some muffs.

The bodgeit and scarpa muffs I have on the XJ900 are leagues ahead of the handguards and hotgrips I have on the SV.

Any recommendations for a good water proof treatment for boots .
I had some over boots but they fell apart Friday :(.
Luckily it only took a short time to get home so not too cold

Sidi rain. With ski socks. Worked for me on a 300 mile ride down M6 & M5 last winter.

Too expensive for 2 or 3 times I ride in the rain now .

This is what I use on my leather stuff; a pot will last even me a couple of years, but in the case of winter boots I use MVP socks so whether your boots leak or not isn't a worry.

Cheers Mark.
