I just went on my first longish ride on my 1985 K100RS. We were gone 8 days all over central and southern BC. It was a blast. The only annoying thing was the numb hands. I have read lot's of articles and want to try to add poly-urethane filler and lead shot to the bars. Is there any danger in cutting the ends out of the heated grips, or will I cut through heat wires.
Other than that the trip was a blast and the bike never missed a beat. We had one bout with heavy rain and as usual you don't put on your rain gear till it's too late. I didn't put mine on at all and after one hour of heavy rain I was surprised how unaffected I was. I just tucked a little tighter behind my Aeroflow and kept my legs as close in as I could and when we stopped my pants were completely dry and my boots were a tiny bit wet but only on the outside. Not the case with my friend on the Triumph Daytona, he was soaked. But we laughed our heads of together. Good times
Thanks in advance. Someone always answers.
