Here's the final fixture. Zip ties to provide some upward hold and cushion so that all the weight doesn't fall on to the screw in bumps and in general. Tomorrow's ride to work will tell the tale.

How to shop for a stabilizer? 🫣 Internet says get 0 ethanol fuel and call it a day, but I have a feeling it's wrong advise.

Folks, the raindrops and water on the road turned to ice. Be careful while driving in the morning hours in Mississauga areas.

Rain is a killjoy.

Looks like it's going to snow tonight in Mississauga. I hope it's just the flurries.

An interesting comparison of winter maintenance of pavements in cities. Thought this is relevant to this thread. Esp. at 10:15 mark

Did anyone's Google Weather briefly indicate snowfall on the 31st night through the next day morning? I avoid leaning even slightly over these paints when it's moist outside. My gut just doesn't feel right over these wet & shiny patches on the road. I'll debug my experience over the next week...

Does the bike feel heavier/difficult to move in those instances? I felt a little difficulty when I was taking my bike out this Monday and a few initial seconds of riding it felt like the bike was being lazy. I chalked it up to tires being cold and did a couple of rounds in the crescent before...

How does one know till what temperatures the tires are good without going into too much technical terms? Just curious.

And poof .. just like that in 28 hours, the temp crept up 19°C .. WTAF!!

I have the same thoughts. Update: the mitten style covers didn't work. They were covering over control. Also sent back the metal covers. I took the group advice. I'm going with some custom made fittings and stick it to the fairings directly. Will just pics soon. 🙂

Don't scare people 🥲 I could still drive. But yes, riding in 1°C was fun. Big thanks to the big ass windscreen I have.

Just ordered a pair

Tried them... For some weird reason the screw is loose. I'm suspecting the previous owner tinkered with the handle bar edges.

I'll try them out.

It is not. I was thinking of getting a longer screw/bolt and throw in some rubber washers at 2/3 places to add some cushioning and firmness.

So, I have been trying to find some handguards for the Tmax to prevent the cold wind from hitting my palms. I've tried a bunch of things but the only thing that's close to compatibility was this one made for Harleys https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B089F7R3RD I looked at all possible placement options...

This is great! Definitely going to do it.

Update: I did some tryouts today (no donuts) and found out I have a problem with 2 specific maneuvers: 1. Parking lots where you enter nose-in do a turn and stop at an angle in the next space (illustration below). In this case, I noticed I'm still leaning when I stop and that's off-putting my...
