Thanks for the tip mrlmd1. Right now I have an OEM Suzuki windshield. I'll check those out though.

You could also install some Symtec grip heaters. The combo would be very nice for keeping toasty.

Thanks Bob. Sounds like they work real good. I'm saving up for an engine guard at the moment, not sure if Santa (me) is going to come through yet. O_o

Cold is supposed to hit around Monday or so, probably won't be out much longer. I was also having trouble with my chin freezing, I'm thinking it's a losing battle. I got a neck gaiter to wear but it's tough to keep it in place whenever I turn my head. Tomorrow's supposed to be nice, so it might be the last day for this season.

A light bella clava from an outdoors shop will keep your chin warm. I was quite surprised how warm I was on the highway wearing mine. It stops drafts from circulating in your helmet too.

Best piece of clothing I have bought. :2tup:

The irony here is that I saw those on the bottom rack as I was buying the gloves. Of course I didn't think to get one. Gloomy out today, showers. Dang it all...

Going through the threads and saw this topic and fell into a special negative type of mind, cause i thought you should keep the petcock in prime... went down to garage to check the gz and wanted to start the machine, but due to low temperature during the night, battery's dead...

I hope i didn't messed it up... What a newbie, squid....
