They work better than any of the BMW factory heated grips and an aftermarket set on my VStrom (don't remember the manufacturer). Both those were only off, low or high.
I've got a Lowrance and used MC Larry's replacment steering stem nut with threads for the ram ball. Great location that gives me flexibility with a long RAM arm. Plus not very noticable.
I always wear my two piece aerostitch - in hot weather I load all the pockets with ice.
Carry a camel back (half ice, half water at the start) in my tank bag so I can drink while moving. This was about the smartest trick I ever put into use.
Tire pressure is the most likely culprit - I've experienced this intermittently when I don't stay on top of tire pressure or inadvertently run too high pressure in the front.
Nice bike and your correct - airfare to Vegas is cheap.
Do you know how often the shuttle runs between Vegas and St George?
May be getting ahead of myself, but are you in town 5-7 July if someone were to need to pick it up then?
