Boots or gloves?

[FJRider]

I thought that made you look cooler than everyone else though?

Water cooled feet ... NOT a good look. (or feeling)

lol, I accidentally rode through a giant puddle at speed on Saturday, had to stop and pour the muddy water out of my boots, and wring out my socks, the downside to waterproof boots.

Hey mate just remembered I've still got a spare set of hand guards if u wanted to try them, could help with the gloves issue.

Hand Guards? I got new gloves too, pick them up on Saturday, just the ones I wanted!

Cool (or hopefully warm!) They're just those plastic guards you mount on your handlebars like on mine to keep the wind off, s'posed to a universal fit but they might look a bit, er, different on yer bike. Welcome to try them though, easy to fit just need an Allen key/hexagonal screwdriver.

Was looking at those hand guards in a shop Hamilton and they told me it world be difficult to fit them on my bike So might be a good idea to take him up on that offer. Sure they could be quite useful against the wind

What size boots are you after? I have some size 41 TCX waterproof boots RRP$299, as new, you can have them for half price if they're your size

Hmmm, aren't they the same bike? Got these off Trademe, so long as there's some spare handlebar space next to the controls should be OK, super duper gloves might be good enough though .

Would be worth a look to see if they fit?!

I don't think size 41 mens is the same as a 41 womens? I can fit a 41 womens but 40 is more like my size.

Let me know next time you're out and about on the bike my way, should be able to tell pretty quickly if they'll be a go-er or not, could meet you at St lukes or thereabouts .

Are hand guards universal?
Just had a look on TM, there seems to be specific types for bikes, but I guess if they fit and work then what's the problem.

Bark busters are universal I think. The cheap ones that hook onto your levers are pretty standard too.

Heaps of different styles and mounting methods though, nothing will fit a huge percentage of bikes out there.

Yeah so universal they didn't fit my bike but that was how they were advertised and I fell for it. Main problem was with the fairing - with a handlebar mounted fairing should be OK, but no guarantees aye.
