I have just bought the R361 bar muffs from tucano urbano.


Any tips of things I should or shouldn't do when installing, please.


cheers,

The only issue I found was the plastic bits that you put inside to hold it in place can get in the way of the levers. You'll find when you pull the lever back it hits the plastic bit. I just use one half to hold it in place now and works well enough. The other option I thought of is to cut one half down a bit or shorten it so it doesn't get in the way of the lever, but didn't actually try it.

I have the neoprene type - http://www.urbanrider.co.uk/brands/tucano-urbano/bar-muffs-r361-neoprene-bar-end-weight.html. In the case of a fall the state of the muffs is the least of my worries... I did have a low speed off at the beginning of the year and they survived just fine.

I have the Tucano Urbano muffs on my Fazer. Fit well, don't get in the way of anything, don't flap about on the motorway and can handle motorway speeds very well. Used them all of last winter and have just put them back on for this winter. Best £37 I've spent on the bike yet!

I have no idea about costs, etc. But I would say plan your route very carefully!


The brother of a friend of mine started a trip to Cape Town end of last year with a few others and he/they were kidnapped and are still being held to ransom in Mali. One guy he was with was shot dead at the time. Not saying this happens everywhere, but there will be hotspots for trouble and places to definitely avoid.


Apologies if this dampens the mood somewhat, but rather be prepared and all that...
