Bar Muffs...

[banner001]

love them or hate them, i dont really care

i have fitted some tucano urbano R360 ones to my zxr as i was tired of having the ends of my fingers feel like they were falling off after 5 minutes of sub-zero wind blast...

fitted these last night, ok so bar muffs never look that good, but these are pretty nice, roomy inside, my hands have never been warmer in winter, and thats with summer gloves!


only niggle is that it feels wierd getting your thumb into place to operate the indicators, and the starter button can be odd to find...but ill get used to it, thats why im trying it with summer gloves first, if necessary once i get used to them ill switch to winter gloves for max-warmth

am off to london this monday, 200+ mile round trip, ill let you know how my hands get on, ill be knocking on the door of 43,000 miles (~70,000km) then...the old lad is doing us proud

You mad man! My ZXR has been hibernating for 3 months haha, I've defected to a dirt bike for now Is the engine still holding up then?

yup

needles shimmed up 3 places, and 100 mains in...runs good, the odd minor hiccup now and then, dynojet needles might sort it out, i think it gets starved of fuel slightly when you whack the throttle open sometimes at low revs in high gears, other than that its going good

tyres feel shot though after 4000 miles, loads of tread on, might just be because the road is only getting up to -2C in the day time

Never had anything like that on my zxr. Poof!

Having said that, i have heated grips and hand guards on the versys. So i cant blame you lol

I don't get muffs (story of my life!!!)?

When it's snowing you have to wipe it off your visor every few seconds, so you're stuffed.

The ONLY way to keep your hands warm is to have a heat source - anything else and the heat will just slowly go away... Get some heated grips!
