I've been waiting very patiently for Clearview to offer a replacement shield for the Burgman 400. The way it looks, it'll be warm weather before they have it available. The ride home from the dealer (along with several more miles tonight) stressed the need for something to help me deal with cold weather riding. Riding home from the dealer today I had on a few layers and the chest didn't get too cold but my hands nearly froze. Riding tonight, I used the same clothes and got chilly then added a heavy jacket under my Joe Rocket jacket and stayed warm and my hands didn't freeze.
So I'm going to buy either a Givi shield or a Widder vest. The Givi shield is on sale for 17% off. I could buy it and it'll add wind protection for my body and hands. I can still add additional layers of clothes (making me look like the Sta-Puft marshmallow man) when necessary. Or, I can go ahead and buy a Widder vest, for about the same price as a Givi shield, to keep me warm and holdout for the Clearview whenever it becomes available.
Just to be sporting about this, I'm going to throw logic to the wind and let the forum members decide which of the 2 items will be my next purchase. Cast your vote and select Bill's next scooter accessory.
