What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

[g650xtdm]

Removed my left side heated grip and added some heatshrink underneath, then re-installed.  I was losing too much heat into the bars on the left side.  I typically add heatshrink or SA tape to the bars when adding the under grip type heaters.  I didn't think this was needed with Oxford grips, but it helped immensely.  I also swapped out my ST handguards for the $20 Chinese ones like AliG got.  They're not very handsome, but they provide better coverage.  Lastly, I swapped out my 60W Osram headlight bulbs for two LED H4 replacements, freeing up 80W.

 

Took it for a test spin today, although it was a fairly "warm" 44*F/7*C, the setup worked very well.  Should be good for those 20*F/-7*C morning commutes. 

 

The downside:  I did something to my clutch cable during the handguard install.  It functions ok, but has A LOT of resistance to it.  I don't notice anything strange about the cable run, but it must be caught up somewhere.  I also noticed that my brake line holder on the rear swingarm broke and the part is no longer available!  If anybody has a spare, please let me know.
