This stuff works well on tubed tire installs, too (friend showed up with a bottle when I told him to bring some talcum powder).
Couple of more things I haven't seen yet:
Mirror extenders, trunk, water bottle pouch, reflective tape
Stuff I'm trying out now:

Russell sport seat (not the DayLong due to seat height issues) plus Airhawk minimal inflation plus LD Comfort riding shorts. Great for hemorroids too
. Just sayin'
Yep all good tips. Forgot my mirror extenders ....the handlebars are narrow on the CB300F and only got views of my shoulders with little slices of what was behind. The extenders fixed that. Needed locktite blue to keep from slipping. Been fine even at some speed and headwind. Needs the lock washers and locktite....$11 US from Ali-express.
I also had luck with the cheapie wind deflectors as long as you use locktight on the screws....the concept works well....was a trip saver on the CBF1000 with the too narrow windscreen.
I don't video so welcome info there.
Thanks for the reminder on the wide kidney belt . I use a Klim...really helps even on two hour jaunts and very adjustable.
Added to original post - velcro and webbing well made and it breathes/
I had the the Russell seat on my Wee - not as good as the RDL which I had on the Burgman with the oh so nice RDL backrest but still much better than the stock.
This tho .....
Tried one on the Wee without the backrest for going out west but too tall.
At least there is a rather thriving market in used seats. Tried a Corbin ....was decent but held me place too much,Shane may well like it because of that also the Saddleman which did not do a lot for me tho well made.
Honourable mention to the Sargent seats which turned the plank of a seat on the original 2004 KLR to something I could sit on all day.
Looked the same as stock but was not. Everytime I tried for one ( ie the CB500x ) it "was in development" and no hope on the CB300F I think.

Thanks but kudos to the very kind GTAMer that hooked me up today at Burger night!
Found this video useful - settled on Maxima Chain Wax now I am lubing again.
Regina chain needed small adjustment mostly for alignment - 13k km not touched, cleaned or lubed - pretty close to zero maintenance as they claimed so happy with that Regina purchase.

These just came in and they are identical but darker than the original I got.
$5.78 Aus delivered all in. I have a big head and they fit fine including inside the helmet and eyes are protected from windflow - especially the side.
I bought two different transmission levels.
More expensive in Canada on Amazon but others list them for a lot less...
Much better optically than the Shark visor tho the Shark sun visor is close and also available in a variety of transmission levels...does not work as well as these and these cover the eyes better and keep any wind away. Very flexible so arms slip into helmet easily..well designed and big hinge area looks durable.
Have to chase down some of my old Zenni cases so they stay unscratched tho lately I've just been wrapping them in a microfiber clothe for in the pocket.

This doesn't work very well. Screen deflector: Adjustable Clip Motorcycle Wind Deflector, Universal Motorcycle Windscreen Bolts, Windshield Extension Accessories, Windshields - Amazon Canada
The tilt adjustment near the windshield locks fine, but the adjustment near the deflector doesn't lock properly, so the deflector is deflected by the wind.
I might have to glue it or something to keep it from flapping in the wind.

Do you have a picture? I might have to drill to do that.
Yes.
For sunglasses, I carry clip-ons that fit over my regular glasses. But they aren't as good for windflow.
Mimico - you should not need it with the Madstad as it is so adjustable and has the wings but it's cheap to try.
I assume you set it to look above the windscreen not through it?
Looks good Baggsy. Fortunately I still have 20/15 vision but of course at 75 my near vision sucks ...each year nibbles a bit away

Late to reply - yes it measures temp of the air inside the tire.
Bought these for eBike but might work well for the CB300 as well as padding seems a bit better than the much more expensive MotoSkivvies tho not as wide. The skivvies have lasted tho getting thin in some areas and the elastic is tired so depends on the riding pants to stay in place - the padding looks good as new tho.
I'll be happy if these give some relief from sore ass.. tell you soon enough for both vehicles.
