Got links for that stuff? I've been looking into tank bag options lately. Some pics of the bag mounted on your tank would be nice plus how do you like the bag? Thanks!

I just bought these on amazon a minute ago.

https://www.amazon.com/Alpine-Hearing-Protection-MusicSafe-Musicians/dp/B0032BYCWG/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1529088075&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=alpine+worksafe+ear+plugs&psc=1

 

A quick review on them after a couple weeks of use. They are comfortable, easy to clean and although they don't block wind noise completely (they're not made to) they do lower the volume of it as they were designed to do which helps to keep my ears safe. I can hear everything around me much better than the standard ear plugs that block too much sound, IMO, and they're more comfortable not only because of the soft material used but you don't have to bury them deep like with foamies to get them to perform.

 

it's important to note they come with two different inserts that fit inside the tube of the plug. One insert that blocks noise at a medium level (the one I like best) and another that blocks more sound so in short, you also get some adjustability along with them, unlike most plugs. The storage container is solid and nice to carry in a pocket in case you want to stop somewhere and have a place to put them when you take them out. I wouldn't recommend putting them on your key chain unless you have a way to prevent them from scratching paint & plastic. Take good care of them and they should last a long time. Don't clean them with anything that is going to damage them. Mild soap & water should be fine.

 

I highly recommend these ear plugs! They're well worth the extra money.

I'm not familiar with the R3 pegs, they must be better to have ordered them but how are they better? Thanks!

Well, better is subjective. More a personal preference. They are simple, light weight foot pegs you normally find on a super sport style bike. No rubber, just little aluminum teeth. Im a mechanic and sometimes slippery stuff ends up on my boots when i leave work so the rubber top pegs are bothersome for me. The R3 ones are a little grippier as a result of the little teeth. Like i said, preference really

I checked some out and I agree, teeth are better for gripping. Most dirt bikes I've ridden had the toothy or knurled pegs.

Bought last weekend but haven't been on here for a bit. Picked up some new gloves, old ones were trashed.

I bought a ABBA stand for the MT. I pulled the side plates off and pushed out the little circular covers. I am not going to put the circular covers back on. I think the side plates will look ok without them. That way I don't have to worry about the circular covers loosening up and falling off.

You've mentioned the abba stands a few times.  Either you work there or they are that good.

Ordered some Vagabond frame sliders for the FZ today.  Be here Monday via Amazon prime.  Gonna bolt them on and hope I never need them.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Put em on this morning. Perfect fit. SLIGHTLY shorter end to end than stock but hardly noticable in use. Got caught in some pretty good rain this afternoon and they work great! No slippery pegs!

My dark smoke shield for my helmet was starting to peel at the bottom after almost 2 years of use, so decided to give the iridescent one a try.
