Snigger- funny that a good few of us are nearly or in my case- turned 60 (an a decent bit)
Why, only a few years ago we were saving up for one of these bikes and the missus always had other ideas!

Yep, the cold doth bite and the little Honda is best left in the garage if a newer bike with heated grips is available! ive 2 others- My 2001 R1, owned from new- that has grips fitted, I kid you not- ive never seen another with them , but i sued to do 100 miles to work and back in the early 2000's on it. the TEX has Oxford overs which work well but id not recommend them on a 400/4 .

I replaced my headlight with the one from DSS as my bulb had blown and the lights as we know are feeble.

I thought I might fit an HID to it but when I measured the current-draw, it was nearly a constant 4 amps- thats treated than the 35w candle.

So, ive got a halogen now and an LED pilot-lamp.
