Mirrors

I got tired of looking at my shoulders so I bought new mirrors with longer arms. The arms are 2 inches longer, not as long as I hoped for. The over all length is 7.5 inches, still not long enough.
I have seen some in the J &P Cycles catalog that have 10 inch arms think that I may give them a try.

New Hand grips
I just got some Kuryakyn ISO-Grips for my scooter part number ZZ50006 in the j&p cycles catalog, but I got mine locally so they were cheaper as I did not have to pay shipping.They are bigger around and softer then the stock ones, which will fit my big hands better, and they also look a lot better, like they belong there.

I put the safety gear label here because they are easier on your hands then the stock grips.
They are much bigger in diameter which is much better for my large hands, the raiseed portion allows air to get under your hand, this allows your palms to breath. All in all a very good upgrade for rider comfort.

Heat and safety gear.

As the weather heats up 80F or better I find myself with the thought of its only a short trip you don't need to wear that, a tee-shirt and helmet is fine. At that point I think back to the articles I read about crashes with people wearing just that, then I put on all my gear.
