Bow Down


I finally got in a ride under 20F. Went all of 26 miles, speeds up to 95mph @ 19degreesF (That's -7C). My fingertips were a bit frosty even with the heated grips, but the rest of me was toasty due to my new homemade electric jacket/liner under my Harley FXRG riding suit.

Only problem is the grip heaters seem to be getting too hot on the throttle tube and making it stick. I'm callin' the dealer tonight, but anyone with experience with the Kimpex/Dualstar grip heaters feel free to expound. I ran 'em on the low setting and they really didn't seem very warm, but the throttle tube is NOT happy.

Ride Safe, Ride Fast, Ride Far.
