I am adding them since I am finally doing a bar change. 3 years of riding in October snow in AB, BC, ID, MT, WY and spring snow in all the northern states, I have had enough!

LOL chili mornings in FL and San Diego?

Yes, you can remove them!

Don't have them ... Never needed them ... That was then ... Now that I'm on my 73rd trip around the sun the hands are starting to show signs of years as a mechanic ... They may be in my future :<(

That is my favorite riding temp...I put the thin gloves on for that

Conversely, you guys are great at riding in the heat. I hide like a scared child over 95, I can't take riding in that any longer.

no one is disputing that you did, but i bet your first 200,000 miles weren't as comfortable as your last 200,000 miles.

I get it, but I also think you're overthinking it.
Those fall into the category of I'd rather,
Have it and not need it

Need it and not have it.

I haven't seen any of the tech (sans ABS) that can't be easily turned off. Do you keep modern toilet paper in your outhouse?
