Totally pointless things you've bought for your bike?

[jtemple]

If you ask my wife? The bike itself.

I haven't spent much on mods, as the budget doesn't allow it.

A&R Baffle Kit (stock look, slip-on sound, $100)

Sliders (a necessity, IMO)

Throttlemeister (for Sturgis and to lessen bar vibration)

Stomp Grip (mine has been through some HOT weather with no issues - don't know what the problem was with the previous mentioning of Stomp Grip).

Gear. 2-piece leathers, boots, 2 pair of gloves, mesh jacket, helmet.

Try a trackday where the air temp is 107 - and it's 147 on the paddock. Then, run 30-minute sessions on said trackday. Now, tell me if your stomp grip stays where it should....

It won't.

I've had 6 customers lose theirs. Not just Tye. It's my winning choice of useless products right up there next to the reason why people buy FRAMEsliders.

Ok, maybe I didn't get that hot. But I've definitely had it in 100+ temps.

My slipon for the 748 was $1k. The full system for the 998 was $2.5K But, certainly not anywhere near pointless....

yeah, we're like the surface of the sun sometimes. Maybe people should send us products to test for them?? Hmmmmmmm

Holy hell, 147?! My lap timer registered 108 for my last track day and I was struggling to keep sweat from running into my eyes. I can't imagine another 39 degrees.

And THANK YOU for the frame slider comment. I swear everyone thinks they're plastic savers.

It got so hot here that one time, I was sweating so much inside my helmet my breathe was blowing my sweat beads onto my visor and I thought it was rain!

That was actually before it was warmer and I lost my grip pads.


You know it's hot when the gas tank is actually making noise from pressure buildup from heat sitting in the sun.
