I'm thinking about these heated grips, just gotta figure out where to get them from.

Oxford Heaterz Heated Motorcycle Handlebar Grips for 7/8-inch Diameter Handlebars (Sports Style) - OXF.26.0696 : TwistedThrottle.com

And, I think these are super cool! But I'm not sure I want to pay $60 for just 6 of them.... have to think about that one.

BILLET BLING WINDSCREEN OR FAIRING BOLTS

And... I really like these bar ends.

Have a solution for the fairing bolts...

I was searching through my craft box trying to get ideas, and I found some swarovsky crystals. They are 5mm so they are exactly the right size to go on the bolts, but I still couldn't figure out a way to attach them so I could remove them if needed. Then I was out Christmas shopping today and found something called glue dots... they are exactly the same size of the crystals. So I put a few on my windscreen bolts and they actually look pretty good! I should be able to peel them off no problem. I'm not going to do the fairings just yet cuz I have to take them off in the spring time. Not sure how they will endure heat and vibration and washing come summer... but I guess I'll find out. If it doesn't work... then it only cost me $7 The picture quality sucks, but I don't have a camera... I'm sure they will look better in the sun too.

FHG, those heated grips look fantastic! The only problem I have with those is that they don't allow you to choose the type of grips you'd use. I've also found heated grips to usually have a very hard grip, making them uncomfortable for me in the summer when I wear thinner gloves.... Not sure how hot it gets there in the summer, and how much use you'd get out of the heated grips, but when I had mine, I would get around 5 months use out of them, leaving them turned off for 7 months. I found the wear and tear during those months would put a lot of wear on the wires/cables. Just things to consider. I've been looking for something like this: Aerostich Warm Wrap Grips - Heated Grips & Accessories - Rider Comfort - A to B Utilities :: Aerostich/RiderWearHouse Motorcycle Jackets, Suits, Clothing, & Gear which can easily be detached from the motorcycle for the summer, and then I'm back to my comfortable squishy, and cheap grips....

Concerning the bolts and theft - save the receipt and make your insurance aware of the add-ons so if the bike gets stolen, you can claim those as well. Not sure if it would be worth a claim if just the bolts gets stolen, but that's how I see things. You can make something unstealable, so insure it...

Totally digging on the bling! I'm usually not a fan, but that's awesome! Also, do they let you wear nail polish on the job? Cause that color rocks!

Off topic: Do you say "aboot" or "about"?

All very good points spooph. Here is my reasoning behind my choice. I've read a number of reviews on the heaterz, and a lot of people say its a softer rubber than most, and that they hold up pretty well to regular use, but that is definitely something to think about. Oxford makes a set of the ones your talking about, they're called "hot hands" while its great that you can remove them, I have teeny tiny, itty bitty hands... and I'm worried it will be uncomfortable for me to get my hands around the bars the way I would like, not a problem for you eh spooph? lol I would get a lot of use out of my grips for sure, probably 5-6 months out of the year I would use them to some degree. I just really can't hack the cold. Gets flippin hot here in the summer. Hottest day last summer was 41C with the humidity, ugh.

Generally, I'm not into "bike bling" either, but these are pretty subtle... and I'm not sure I wanna wear pink so this is my "girly" contribution.

AND... I don't know about the rest of Canada... but I say about, not aboot. The Newfies however are a different story altogether haha
