Question: how long do chain and sprockets last for folks? I'm on original at 26k miles. They still look pretty good.
Out of curiosity, what is the red wire/cable by your right rearset?
That cable is the the connecting end for my grip warmers. It plugs-in to the battery pigtail. The grip warmer unit cable end wasn't capatible with the pigtail, so I had to wire a connector to it and that's the red cable that's visible. I disconnect at the pigtail when not in use to make sure there's no draw on the battery.
Grip-warmers, $30 at Amazon They've worked decently well for 2 winters now; only issue is one side warms slightly more than the other. 3 settings, usually the mildest setting is enough. The warmest setting of 3 is simply too hot!
