Not authorised to view this, any ideas? Can you just manually click through using the menu above? Board Index > Katana Technical > How to Guides > Converting to LED indicators... Does that work? The link works for me whether logged in or not so not sure why you (and SmallKat) had issues. Maybe it's...

Re: Arctic Circle riding gear

My recommendations....A few years ago I rode through Chile and Argentina right down to Ushaia at the very bottom. I bought a pair of Forma Adventure boots for the trip, and they are the warmest, driesr and most comfortable boots I've ever owned. Still use them daily now, so would highly recommend t...

Re: Arctic Circle riding gear

Have had a look at Altberg site, interesting. Are they actually CE rated? I'll have another look at heated grips but if I fit some I dont want extra control pad on bars, so maybe another brand.
