    I have a heated vest, @TripleGrey, and I love it! It definitely makes a big difference in my comfort level when riding while it's cold. Yes, well worth it! I'm glad you're enjoying your new heated gear.

    I just ordered Oberon adjustable clutch and brake levers for my Street Glide Special. Nothing like a little carpal tunnel surgery to make you realize how much your clutch hand has to work to ride a motorcycle! I'm putting different bars on this bike so figured I'd do the levers at the same time. Lots of color combos available. I went with something "wild"--black levers and black adjustment knobs. ;):joy:

    Well, certainly not THAT! :eek::scream: :joy::joy::joy:

    I've ordered some fairly conservative bars from a company called Khrome Werks. They're not the currently trendy T-bars nor are they ape hangers or beach bars. They'll be narrower than my current bars by several inches and put me 2 inches up from stock with 2 inches more pullback than stock. The ones I ordered only come in chrome so I'm having them powder coated black as there's not one chrome thing on my touring Harley.

    Today I ordered some R&G bobbins to enable me to get the Blade onto our paddock stand for chain cleaning etc. Not THE most exciting purchase, but anything bike - related is still a win I reckon......

    I have made a bargain. I bought an almost original "Adler 3-speed" from 1934 from a colleague for €250.-.
    In the following some pictures of it.
    I am really happy!!!
