I have purchased Honda heated grips and before I put them on my stock bars, I wanted to consider swapping to 2 inch rise clip ons for both ergos and aesthetics.
How many of you have gone that route and what can you recommend both in terms of quality and ease of installation? I believe tank clearance will have to be a factor as our tanks are relative high and wide in the front.

Be fore warned, three videos, five very brave (or silly, your pick) gals on Royal Enfields, on some of the most stunning and dangerous roads you can imagine.

Does this mean I'm a mechanic now?

I mentioned a little while back that I was looking at buying a new helmet, and I just got it the other day: a Shoei NXR!

Since perhaps 20 years I have always had Arai helmets. Their shape always fit my head perfectly, and I have always appreciated the quality, look and comfort of their various helmets. The most recent was the RX7 GP Nakano replica, and it has been a favorite now for 6 years. But 6 years is a long time, and I felt I should get something new to go with the CB11.

I went to have a look at the most recent Arai helmets available, but was attracted by the look of the NXR Terminus. It was not the first time I tried a Shoei, but in the past they have never really fit my head. Well, this one felt great! Trying it on in the shop I was pleasantly surprised by how light it felt, and it was really comfortable. So, I bought it!

After riding two days with it, I can say I am really pleased with my purchase. It really feels much lighter than the Arais I have had in the past, and on my first ride I was happy to find that the opening was much bigger than on the Arai. My peripheral vision is much better. It is also very silent even when going fast.

I tried putting on the chin curtain, but ended up removing as I didn't feel any real improvement, and it became a bit of a pain to put on and take off the helmet. The nose guard is perfect though. I do find that the material on the inside is perhaps not as soft as in the Arai, perhaps a bit on the abrasive side. My ears are a bit tender from pulling it on, but I am sure this will work itself out soon.

So, for me, very good purchase! It was also a lot cheaper than another Arai!!

Gentlemen,

Reading this months Cycle World magazine about the new KTM 1290 Super Adventure I am starting to feel like a real dinosaur. With a glowing review that touts it as maybe the best all around motorcycle that has ever been built, how could I not like it?? But I don't like it at all. It's styled like a two wheeled Star Wars storm trooper uniform stuffed inside a crushed set of monkey bars and incorporating every conceivable combination of odd angles and curved surfaces. It assaults the eyes from any angle. Active suspension front and rear with several different modes, accelerometer, lean angle sensors, wheelie control, ride by wire, and an engine with an electronics suite that can deliver power like a Superbike or a scooter depending upon which mode the rider selects after "toggling through all of the options".

Uh, OK. This is what sells today. And it repels me. The CB1100 has been a sales failure in America and I don't think another maker (or Honda) is going to try it again. It looks like riders like me, and bikes like the CB11, are relics. I use to be hip...what happened?

Yeah, I'm new to Honda or Japanese bikes after 20 years. So what is it?

Just got my new helmet. It's not an exact match, but close.
It's an HJC CL-17 in metallic wine. My husband has the side covers off to paint them the same color as the tank.

Hi Group,

Has anyone else experienced a leak at the clutch fluid reservoir? I picked up my bike new from the dealer a couple weeks ago. The bike now has about 250 miles. I noticed the leak yesterday.

Regards.
