use handle bar mittens, several companies carry them. they keep your hands warm and dry.
I have a pair, and yes they do work very well, but I am looking at adding 'flares' to the stock guards to help with rain on the slab in warmer months.

Check out BarkBuster's handguard. Very pricey but sleek and effective. I can't recall the name but BarkBuster makes it and it nearly encloses your hands.

This weekend I swapped the halogen H7s for the Cyclops LED Kit and could not be more pleased. So easy to install, incredible light and when combined with the Rigid 6" LED (on high-beam), I have the immediate and complete attention of anyone approaching me (not looking at their fancy fone). Well worth the asking price of a buck-fiddy.

One install tip I can pass on... have the front of the bike lower using the centerstand or just a block of wood. This will help keep the new baseplate positioned against the reflector housing while you fiddle with the retention spring.

Do you have a pic of your handguards? Looking to modify mine to increase functional wet weather coverage.
Made these from a sheet of 1/8" Kydex. Created the pattern using a Manila file folder, its reversible for LT and RT. Heated with a heat gun and formed, then immediately cooled with a rag soaked in icewater.
Huge improvement in cold weather.

I found the wind whipped up under the hand guard so I extended them with some corrugated plastic I had laying around. It helps keep the wind off nicely.

I also run a pair of bark busters (with storm handguards) with the mittens over them. good combo. I always run a a metal based hand guard, no matter what the bike is, nothing worse than snapping off levers. ::021::

Decent numbers. Have you made any modifications? Zorst?

I think Zorst is slang for exhaust?? I would love to know the origin of this term.
A lot of Brits I know say zorst, it's just lazy slang. ::)
No, no mods to the exhaust or anywhere else in the power train. The readings where surprising.

I sure don't know how accurate motorcycle Dyno's are but it's a pretty well known fact that the dyno's they use on farm tractors very a lot.

It's a bit like bathroom scales, no two manufactures will give you the same maximum result, but as long as you can see the results going up, or down it's a usefull tool.

They are excellent results. Actually more the manufacturer stats new. And that's power measured at the crank.

I think most if not all Dyno runs state rear wheel power thats around 10% less than crank. Making your results very impressive.

Installed TB synch pigtails, made a manometer, and synched the throttle bodies. At close to 23Kmi, they were actually pretty close, well within spec. Then I spent several hours looking for my primary set of keys. Normally I put them on the hanger with my jacket. No where to be found. I have a complete backup set (Bike, cases, racks, GPS), but I'm totally baffled. How easy is it to get a new Bike key?

US of A it's not hard to get a new key cut... everywhere else... I don't even know what has to be done when the red key is lost.

If I ever lose my key it's always in the seat lock.......

Yes, most of the time it's in the seat or the trunk lock. This time that's where I was using my spare.
My fear at this point is I laid them on the washing machine when I changed out of the MC gear and accidentally knocked them into the recycle bin. My guess is I'll find them as soon as I construct a whole new spare set: Bike, Side cases, rack mount, Givi trunk, and GPS.

Normally when I misplace something like this, it is in a pocket of the clothes I wore the last time I used them. Maybe a fall/winter jacket that you had on when you moved it around your garage? Also one other time I had a set of keys that fell down into one of my boots. Found them a few months later.

Good luck!!
