Product review: Acerbis Dual Road Handguards

Andy Downes, 26 January 2012 13:45

Acerbis Dual Road Handguards, £79.99 at www.mcnshop.com Miles covered/time: 6500/nine months What’s good: These universal fit handguards are simple to bolt on, have a clean design, are reasonably priced and give a huge improvement to weather protection on naked bikes. They will fit almost all naked bikes and scooters and swop easily between bikes if you sell and change thanks ...

EDZ one-piece baselayer

Andy Downes, 27 October 2011 10:24

EDZ one-piece baselayer, £50 (now superseded, £60) Miles covered/time: 25,000/two years What's good: Once you have worn a baselayer under leathers the days of struggling to get in and out of them are gone forever. The EDZ suit is the best I have ever used by managing to be comfortable under the leathers, stopping them rubbing and also acting as an ...

EDZ Midlayer Fleece

Andy Downes, 21 October 2011 09:06

Miles covered/time: 5000/two years What's good: It's really comfortable and makes a massive difference to your body temperature. It may appear to be a very thin fleece but it manages to pack in a huge level of warming performance and will also go under fairly tight leathers so can be used on even really chilly winter days. During the colder ...

Product review: Autoglym visor cleaner

Andy Downes, 22 September 2011 12:44

Autoglym visor cleaner, £12.49 for 500mlTime used: Five years What’s good: I take this tiny bottle of visor cleaner with me everywhere I go as it’s small enough to travel but will last for at least a week or two of constant use when travelling. The price includes a large bottle that you refill the small spray bottle with. I ...

Product review: Kriega Kube Pocket

Andy Downes, 22 September 2011 11:59

Kriega Kube Pocket, £15 at www.mcnshop.com Miles covered/time: 7000/six months What’s good: I use this Kriega add-on pocket everyday with my Kreiga R30 waterproof rucksack and the combination is perfect. Kriega products for sale at the MCN Shop. It adds a huge extra layer of practicality by giving easy access to a wallet, house keys, phone or cash when stopped ...

Accumate Optimate 4 battery charger

Andy Downes, 14 June 2011 13:29

Accumate Optimate 4 battery charger, £50 at MCN Shop Time used: One year What’s good: This Optimate 4 battery charger and optimiser has been in constant use since I got it last year keeping the battery on my 1998 Honda CBR600F in perfect condition. I fitted the permanent battery terminals and have hidden the plug-in socket almost out of sight ...

Mini Coyote speed camera detector

Andy Downes, 06 June 2011 15:19

Mini Coyote speed camera detector, from £220 (including £60 for motorcycle accessory kit) Miles covered/time: 1500/three months What's good: I've used this GPS speed camera detector and warning kit in both my car and on a motorcycle. In the car it works perfectly. The idea is that by using a phone sim card, each owner warns others using the Mini ...

Kriega R30 Rucksack

Andy Downes, 06 June 2011 14:45

Kriega R30 Rucksack, £129 Miles covered/time: 11,000/one year What’s good: This rucksack has become an almost daily companion thanks to the completely waterproof and lined build, carrying capacity, comfort and quality; I love it. Other Kriega rucksacks get unfairly criticised for not being waterproof; something they don’t claim to be. The R30 is 100% waterproof and is big enough to ...

Garmin Zumo 220

Andy Downes, 23 May 2011 16:15

Garmin Zumo 220, from £250 Miles covered/time: 2000/three weeks What's good: Motorcycle sat navs can be infuriating if they can't do the basics like letting you operate them safely and easily while on the move; the Garmin Zumo 220 works perfectly so far. I have used a more exotic Garmin 660 before which was fitted to a BMW R1200RT and ...

Andy Downes, 17 May 2011 10:29

Forcefield Pro L2 back protector, £94.99 on MCN shop Andy Downes Miles covered/time: 15,000 one year What’s good: I owe my life in part to wearing a back protector and as a result I rarely ride without one. This Forcefield Pro L2 has been my almost constant companion in the year I’ve had it and so far it seems to ...
