OK, 3rd day now with the T3s and of course, questions are presenting themselves.
Turn signal indicators/Side bags. I noted that with the bags on unless you're DIRECTLY behind the bike you will not see the turn indicators. Then I noted the turn indicators are velcro'ed on. Is there some manner in which to move the turn indicators to the outside or back of the side bags that I'm missing? I'd really like the CARS behind me know when I'm preparing to make a lane change or turn.
iPhone mount? What seems to be the favorite mount for an iPhone?
And with the phone thing, do you go bluetooth integrated helmet or add-on kit? If kit, suggestions?
Windshield - I've been told there is a taller windshield available. Sources? Comments? Suggestions?
Clothing: I see there is a TON of options in terms of clothing/protection. And sure, in a perfect world we all wear all of it all the time but realistically, riding the bike as everyday transportation what are people typically wearing? Yeah I understand the helmet is first (CA is a helmet state anyway) and I picked up a pr of gloves from CycleGear yesterday, but what what about jackets? Leather vs Mesh/textile? Seems like CE2 level protection is the way to go. Other thoughts?
I think that's it for the moment but I can almost guarantee there will be more ?'s coming.
Thx guys.
