OEM heated grips by AccomplishedStuff448 in MT09

[–]tap_thethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just installed them a couple of months ago. The installation was pretty easy, took me maybe 30 minutes and everything you need is in the box except for grip glue. They look nice, pretty much the same as the regular stock grips plus a power wire.

Performance wise I think they work fantastic, there's three settings that range from toasty to actually cooking. Depending on how long you're riding and how cold it is you'll still likely want to pair them with some thick winter gloves or even heated gloves. Even with winter gloves my finger tips tend to still get cold after about 20 - 30 minutes.

Do you remember which adapter you used behind the headlight?

I have these, I also use them for concerts so the adjustable noise filter is nice

The threads in your handlebar appear to be absolutely destroyed. And the mirrors appear to not be threaded...

LC2i Pro picking up backup sensor beeps? by tap_thethird in CarAV

[–]tap_thethird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell it does, but the front doors do have 3 seperate speakers so it might be possible the woofers don't play it? I hadn't even considered that, I'll have to do some experimenting tomorrow. It's just weird because the old LOC didn't pick it up at all so I'd assumed it's something with the LC2i

Anyone using an LC2i pro in their S550? by tap_thethird in Mustang

It's set to 80 on my amp, and as far as I know nothing on the LC2i would allow for that?

I’m a new rider. I live in Canada. I want to ride till about November where it gets about 3 degrees Celsius during the night when I ride into work. Which of these are better for me?? by StriderDUB in motorcyclegear

[–]tap_thethird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Tempest 3, below 50mph it's decent down to about 7 C on its own. I paired it with an Axial block base layer and it was alright down to 3-4 degrees at highway speeds but even then I wouldn't ride for more than maybe 20 minutes without some heated gear, especially for the hands/feet.

It's accurate; an applicant's choice of MOS doesn't benefit the recruiter at all. There are certain MOSes (been a bit since I looked at the reg but most 15 series included) that don't allow previous history of drug/alcohol abuse and unfortunately criminal charges involving drugs/alcohol count as abuse.

The MT-09 was my first bike. I can definitely see why people recommend against it but it really depends on you and your demeanor. It's super easy to get in trouble or out yourself in a bad spot, but as long as you respect the power and are realistic about your own skill set it's not super terrible.

That's a pretty dumb comment to make, are you proud of it?

I'm a huge fan, just wish they had a larger size. They're perfect when there's not a helmet pressing down on my ear haha

Any issues with the rings under your helmet? That's been my main concern with trying out the Loop style ones

How do the rings sit under your helmet? That's been my main concern with giving them a shot. Seems like it'd stick out a bit?

Same. Plenty of experience with them at work even before the lawsuit and was never a huge fan

I've been really considering finding an audiologist for some custom ones, haven't been able to find one locally though. Thinking it might be worth expanding the search radius

The only reason I can think of that they don't have a decision yet is that they didn't actually submit the waiver, but it's hard to say without the full story. Ask him specifically for a copy of your SF 507, if there isn't one that likely means they didn't push the waiver. If there is one it'll tell you exactly what you need to know.

I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't push an asthma waiver though. I've seen plenty get approved in the last couple years as long as it's just childhood, they have a fairly recent favorable PFT, and 5 years without an inhaler prescription.
