It was a very pleasant change from the past. I have used an air hawk for very long rides in the past but i feel that I could happily do 2hr stints without it now.

I rode to Melbourne back in june when we had all the heavy rain and they were fantastic. Even though I did get a little wet with the grips in use and the busters I could still feel my hands after 4 hours of wet riding. My gloves were only mildly damp rather than soaking wet Smile

Nice mate, very nice

So how did the storms go with the fairing? I tried fitting them to a GS500F and they fouled on the fairing at full lock, so I got rid of them

They foul a little bit on full lock but nothing I cannot live with as it is very rare that I use full lock.

True but I use full lock to maneuver it into its parking spot in the garage, and of course the steering lock.

The ones on my bike are both blue running lights with Amber indicators. It took a while to work out the cabling as there are no connection instructions.
