Member Contributer Woodie Posted February 19, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have just finished "Winterising" my Commuter bike (2002 VTEC 800) so far I have added. Higher Screen (Zero Gravity High/Touring screen Handlebar Wind deflectors/hand protectors. High Level Indicators in mirrors Spot lights where Indicators used to be. I do have some heated grips fitted but they don't work at the moment. Whoever fitted them originally didn't tidy the wiring so it got 'pinched'./ I just need to re-wire the connectors on shortened wires and they should be good to go. I'll see how I cope with the wind deflectors first. see if they make any difference. the little testing I have done so far they seem to but I won't be able to make a judgment until I have used them for a while.

Member Contributer Skids Posted February 19, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted February 19, 2018 Nice work m8. Heated jacket connector? Essential for me when it's around zero! What tyres are those? I have Roadtec 1s on the 800X and they grip like a grippy thing in the wet/damp! How's about LED headlamps? Very conspicuous.

I don't have a heated jacket, The old Akito Jacket managed quite well with a few layers underneath. Not yet tried the new one in anger. When I feel the onset of old age/Dementia I will look at investing in an OAP jacket like yours. The tyres, They are Conti Road Attack 2's (I think!) gonna see if they can cope with the roads, I don't like them and would prefer PR4/5's so they are going on at next tyre change. LED conversion would be next but the new spot's work a treat. nice white light from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
