Honda NX650 (1988)

Oxford, works very well down to -15 > -20 deg's C together with handlebar muffs. I can use thin summer gloves during the winter for that special feel of what the front wheel is doing.

No-name lined muffs, works very well down to -0 > -5 deg's C together with heated grips. I can use thin summer gloves during the winter for that special feel of what the front wheel is doing.

TKC80's front and rear studded with car studs (non-glued). Two mm protrusion. Works well for riding almost exclusively on icy/snowy tarmac up to apprix 70 km/h.
Tires can be somewhat slippery on wet tarmac if throttle control isn't executed properly.

Works well, but is as all topboxes very ugly.

With aluminium bar inside. Fits inside the muffs!

The original brake lines were from 1988 and felt rather balooney. Replaced them a year or so ago.
Eliminated all junctions and whatnot front. Is now one line direktly from master brake cylinder down to the caliper, instead four+ short bits and a big heavy steel junction just below the steering head.

The feeling is still as if the calipers are made of cheese, but it does brake harder now.
Nothing much to do about it, it's a 30 year old bike...
