I very seldom wear gloves which causes me to wear the grips out quickly. The left grip has already been worn smooth on the back side at 14000 miles. The heated grips are expensive! I used grip puppies on my Wing but hate the thickness and the heat reduction they cause. I bought this and put it on a few days ago, love it so far. No heat reduction and looks great. I hope it lasts but it is inexpensive. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/282707170369
Now that I am home and can use a keyboard , I'll finish this post. On the left grip I put 2" heat shrink tubing. It looks good and is pretty thick, I think it will last a while too. While the heat shrink looks good, the other looks better, however the other is rubber and does not breath as good as the heat shrink. I'm leaning towards the heat shrink.

Just installed the Big Bike Parts Show Chrome Accessories tapered seat bolt.
You still have to be careful and make sure the threads are aligned or you can cross thread the bolt when installing it.
I recommend using a 6mm ball head Allen wrench to run the bolt in so that you don't cross...
So I was looking down the center of my exhausts and noticed that the left side has a type of restrictor with a tiny hole in the center and the right side exhaust looks to have a screen.
Is this normal?
I am trying to find out what exactly comes in the stock tool kit. I looked at mine and it seems pretty sparse. Especially for the size of the bag the tools come in.
See pic below to see what I am talking about. Pliers, combo wrench, two allen wrenches, double screwdriver w/ handle. Just want to...
