bar muffs

[fireblake]

When I was way younger and a courier I used to ride a Honda VT500. On Friday afternoons after the last job I would blat home back to the south coast. The little Honda would hit 112mph flat out and the throttle was always well and truly pinned for most of the ride home. There was this one time in the middle of winter and I was on the A3 north of Guildford and going for it as usual and I felt the rev limiter cutting in. As a sympathetic rider I eased of and the revs would drop down. A minute later and going flat out again I noticed the revs keep flipping past the red line. The muffs were collapsing onto the clutch lever. Once home I cut up a wire coat hanger to make a frame inside the muff. Sorted. This lasted until I wrote the bike off 6 months later.
