Guys bought a new pair of Moto Mesh gloves... i am a newbie to the gloves... i don't feel the comfort while wearing the gloves... is it bcoz that i am not used to it... or if Moto Mesh is not good???

lolz! I found that question funny!

Ofcourse the gloves would take a while for you to get that comfort.... that holds true for almost all accessories....

If you have got the sizing right, then dont worry.... after a while you will get used to it!
Cheers!

Those are bungee cords and the hooks on them can probably do more damage to the bike than it can aid

What happened Sarvajit, from Saddle Bags to Bungee Cords? Going somewhere?

Oho, its tough to find here in Hyd. I heard you get some with rubberized hooks too, so that they don't damage the paint?
I've been wanting to ride to Pune/Bangy, but my gf doesn't allow me

Yess they are with plastic coating on the hooks.been using since 6 months now.also aided lotsa mumbai guys in getting them.
actually u can visit any spare parts shop and ask for "octopus" or cords that MR (medical reps.) people use
they are damn cheap at my place ,only 60 rs. for a set of 2 cords with a ring to support
tu bol de..i can purchase and courier it to you on to pay basis.
tell me if u want pic. its very basic & effective really.

[Sarvajit]

Thanks guys, I have found out that it is available here in Hyd too. I will try out a few shops this weekend, then if I'm not satisfied with the quality, I'll ask one of you guys to send it across. I can atleast use it for some light touring.
@darkknight: It would be helpful if you can attach a pic here. I will try to look for similar stuff here in Hyderabad too.

Bingo! you using it on the R15?
I have the same ones and the plastic coating gave way after a rainy ride on my Avenger!!!! So now I have tapped them good with some insulation tapes!

[Sarvajit]

Gf doesn't even tour with me&doesn't even let me!
Anyways, no saree guard on my R15.
Why are you against using them on the R15? Too much damage to paint?

Honestly I planned to use it once, and then had this fear of damaging the Fiber to chose to use a backpack....

DK uses a R15 too, and if he says its good, it sure would be

Accha, I'll see it&judge for myself. Depends on where you clasp it on maybe.
@darkknight: Does it damage the rear panel paint like Satyen said?

[darkknight]

here's d pic...don't mind the other clutter on my desk

Yes satyen i do use it on the R15.used in light rains but not in heavy showers.
guess next 15 days testing wud be done on tht too

no damage after continuos use daily in fact for 6 months now

even my bike doesnt have the saree guard.i use the foot peg holder for one end and the mudguard for other.
