G310R - Accessories and Maintenance

[RIDERS]

I got my windshield from Twisted Throttle and my hand guards that I got from Cycle Gear installed and with temps in the 50s here in Illinois was able to take a 58 mile ride as hadn't ridden since Dec. 22nd since we ice and snow and very cold temps. The new windshield and hand guards worked great. I also had heated Oxford grips on it but didn't need them yesterday. I now have 3,618 miles on the G310R that I got September 14th. My wife is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her 310GS.

Thanks for the post RIDERS. I just ordered a set of the hand guards you used for my wife's G310R. She needs some wind protection, and the $25 price is awesome!

A couple weeks ago, I finally got all the necessary part in to replace the factory levers with Puig's levers. They have a much better feel, better shape, and make the bike feel a little easier to ride.

Also, thanks for RIDERS, I copied his idea and installed some hand guards.

All items went on in just a few minutes, with minimal effort.

For reference if you change your own oil and filter, it takes a 64mm, 14 flute filter wrench to fit the filter.

What model hand guard did you get from cycle gear?

[RIDERS]

Here is the link to the hand guards and only $39.99. I have them on my 310R and my wife has them on her 310GS. We put some decorative duct tape on the inside to cover the holes.

Or an Ace Hardware strap wrench.

Maybe. My strap wrench kept slipping so I ordered an "end-cap" style one to make life more simple. It cost $3.95 with free shipping.

Paul, Where did you order your filter wrench? Thanks

[WooDmEn]

My strap wrench is rubber and so I just pull on it to stretch it before locking it by rotating the handle and it works. That being said, I’ll order a cap wrench for four bucks when Brother Paul discloses his source.

Whoops! The price is now $6.50 - but still worthwhile.

I couldn’t get that same set of Barkbuster to go around the master cylinder.

Where did you get the hand guards? Do you recall model number?

I think I loosened it and slid it over so there was room.

Did the mount for the right hand guard go inboard of the master cylinder, or could you get it between the master cylinder and the the switch housing?
