Mike, for your specs and visor dump the fig shield and get a "FOGGY" =
Face Mask, costs less than a tenner from most bike shops or MPS. You =
will never again get fogged up specs or visor even if indoors with the =
lid down!
With regard to the tank bag, I went and took the advice off the web site =
and adapted it a bit further, went to a yacht chandler and got four =
plastic quick release clips of the same style as the Triumph Bag. I =
then cut the overlong existing straps and fitted two around the frame =
toward the front of the tank (nobody so far has even noticed them)and =
two under the seat where the tank screws to the frame (these tuck away =
under the tank when not in use), you can use the existing clips and =
buckles in combination to make it all work. Works like magic and only =
for a couple of quid, it's only a few seconds to clip either the pad =
and map case or the whole kit. Can't think why Triumph didn't design it =
that way, as to keep having to take the two front straps off every time =
would be a knuckle skinning nightmare and then having to thread those =
rear ones, I don't think I'd bother putting it on most of the time.

Hello ST World
Having decided that I should make some changes, I sold my '86 1200 =
GoldWing and was seduced by a '99 Tornado Red ST. Not quite as easy as =
that, I tried every bike I could, but have to admit I fell in love with =
the ST and only the VFR 800 came close.
Having made the change. It is without doubt the best thing I have ever =
done.(The last Triumph I owned was a 650 Bonnie back in 1970)
Now to the questions. The Wing provided comfort and protection from =
the elements, I rarely need full waterproofs even here in central =
England. With the ST I need them most of the time.
I was about to buy and fit Triumph Heated Grips but recent =
e-correspondance makes me re-consider. Do they work well and is the heat =
even?
New full-face helmet to go with the bike, Fogshield prevents the visor =
misting but how can I prevent my spec's fogging up?
Triumph's Tank Bag instructions tell me to attach front straps around =
frame close to headstock. Where?
Thanks, Mike Bevan
