I needed to be able to separate the controls on my heated gear. Plugging one to another would only have my hands cold while my upper body would be too warm. Since I've run out of places to mount another controller that was easy to access while riding, the portable does the job. It works well and can be placed where it can be used easily without drilling.

I haven't been able to run much heat yet. With temps in the upper 30's I only had to run low heat. These are as nice a winter glove as I've worn without heat.
I wear a size 10 Held and the XL fit perfectly. Very comfortable with good feel for an insulated glove. Love the big gauntlets.

I had Gerbings insoles but my feet still got cold. These are more trouble since the insoles stay in the boot, but now my feet stay warm in any weather I'm likely to ride in.

I've tried about every ST tire out there and have decided these are my favorite. Not the very best in any single category but the best overall. The combination of longevity and handling make them my pick.

Had the same in rear for 200 miles when I was offered a trailer ride to deals gap. That was all I needed to make me put on a new front. I had 0 miles on the front the first trip through and rubber was rolling up toward the edges in 22 miles. The tail of the dragon definitely put a smile on my face but the tires were great for that kind of riding.
I only rated average for tread life and wet traction because I have no idea what either will be like.

I've tried about everything on my concours 1400 and the combination of handling and longevity can't be beat. The price is right for a ST tire so after trying a few others I'm back to pirelli.

The profile seems to suit my zx6r well and it definitely sticks to the road. I don't ride that bike in the rain so all I could rate wet traction is average. Same for tread life, not enough miles yet.
It could be luck but this is the first tire in years that took no weight to balance. Have to love that. :)

Gerbing's Coil Cord Extension Coax male plug on one end and a 90 coax female plug on the other end. Just like the cord that connects a phone to the handset, this extension provides for a greater range of motion. 1 ft compressed length stretches up to 4 feet total length.

What can I say. It's a cord, it works. There is the convenience that the coil provides. That is what makes it worth the money.

It works well on the automotive filters I've tried it on but will not go small enough for motorcycle oil filters.

Not the protection I would like to have but they are comfortable enough that I will wear them.
The quality seems very good from my initial impression, and fit should not be a problem for almost anyone. I ordered medium for a 32 inch waist. They fit nicely but I can see them working for someone several inches larger.
I only wish they were less expensive since I want a couple of more.

Is the smoke shield too dark at night?
For those that bought the smoke shield, is it too dark to ride at night with?
Personally I would not ride at night with any tint at all.

Gerbing's Hybrid Heated Insoles We've all had cold feet sometime in our lives. We're talking REAL cold. Not just wedding-day jitters. Cold, stiff, tender feet can turn any ride into a miserable one. But Gerbing's Hybrid Heated Insoles are designed to deliver powerful, warming heat. And unlike the other heated insoles, ours provide heat over their entire surface area. The Gerbing Hybrid Heated Insoles will keep your feet toasty warm, on or off the bike. Because Gerbing's Hybrid Heated Insoles are designed to connect to your other Gerbing's Heated Gear, run them straight off your bike's battery, or you can power them off the Gerbing's 128MVKT Multivolt Battery Kit (sold separately). Features Utilizes Gerbing's Hybrid Heating System Power directly from a 12 V electrical system, or Power them from one of Gerbing's optional 12 V Lithium battery packs (sold separately) Includes one fused battery harness and Y-harness Heats entire surface area Lifetime warranty on the heating elements Incorporates Gerbing's Microwire heating technology that uses micro-sized heating fibers Includes Gerbings Glove / Insole Y Harness (ACYH) SPECIFICATIONS Heat Microwire heat technology Source 12-volts DC Current 1.2 amps/pair Watts 15 watts
can u walk on the heated insoles?
Occasionally I know the cord is there while riding or walking, but it's minor. the insoles are as comfortable to walk in as the TCX Xfive ever was.
