[ST] Temp differential solution

["Andrew F. Kay, Jr." <captainquack@xxxxxxxxxx>]

No rocket science here, guys.  Tell your grip manufacturer to include an
insulator, the same size as a throttle assembly on the bar, for the left
hand side of the bar and two new hand grips, both sized to fit over a
throttle assembly.  Shouldn't add more that 8 to 10 dollars per kit, max,
retail, and if they come up with (or buy) good grips, should be very
popular.  The kit would also include an adhesive to install both the
insulator and the grips.

Pass it along, no charge to interested parties.  Tell them to send me a pair
to test for "Legends of the Lost Empire"
