Posted: 11:56 - 16 May 2022 Post subject: Rotating left hand tucano urbano muff |
|
|
I've fitted a set of the neoprene Tucano Urbano "boxing glove" type muffs to Mrs stinkwheels new Honda Wave.
Run into an odd problem. Because it has no left hand lever, the bar muff rotates round on the handlebar making it difficult to get your hand back in if you wipe the visor while riding and sitting open end up and filling with water when parked.
My current thought is to bond the muff to the rubber bar-end "socket" in the hope that this will stop it. Trouble is, not much will bond rubber to neoprene particularly well and there is a fair amount of force on it when in the wind blast.
Just wondering if anyone has come up with an alternative solution? I hadn't forseen that it's mainly the lever sticking through that prevents these rotating, I suppose not many bikes of scooters have no lever on the left bar but it would be relevant for all the C90 derived bikes and I suppose the newer Hondas with DCTs. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Which ones do you have? https://www.urbanrider.co.uk/brands/tucano-urbano/bar-muffs.html
Seems like some of them come with their own bar ends, and/or cover the base of the mirror, which may stop them rotating.
But without buying again, you might have to do some trial and error with hot glue, bathroom sealant, superglue etc. to see what will work with both surfaces. I've never done it so hopefully others know better. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

My favoured thought just now is to cut out a big plastic washer to go on the inside of the muff against the bar end cup then rivet or screw through it to sandwich the neoprene to the bar end. The cup is securely fixed to the bar end weight with a screw. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.
