21 celsius….. thats hot here. Best I got today was 9 celsius, 48F. And I’ve no heated grips till my son in law visits the US in January. Partzilla is about third the price of UK dealers, so I’ll get them to post to his hotel and he’ll bring them home with him.It hit 70F on the ride home last night BRRRRRRR!!!! Turned on the heated grips, now installing my wing deflectors as winter is here!

heated grips are definitely a fantastic tool to have ! I’ve done quite a bit of riding below freezing temperatures but haven’t used any heated gear since last spring on a 800 mile day ride.21 celsius….. thats hot here.

50! I'd drag out the thermals!Even I don't turn on the heaters until the mid 50s.
31!! I wouldn't even leave the house in my truck in that weather.Major work needed to be done this morning.
It was 31F when I got up to ride to breakfast to meet a couple of friends so finally put the jacket heater control back on the bike and plugged the pigtail
I routinely ride in over 120f. It sucks. But its still better than under 40F.Heat is a whole 'nother issue. I don't have a max temp. And, judging by how many bikes I don't see when it's hot . . . . I'm guessing a lot of people do have have max riding temps.
Being a northerner maybe i'm more accustom to cooler temps but not on the extreme sides like i experience, that's not fun anymore.Back when I had to ride in the cold, we didn't have "proper" gear. When we got the RT with heated handgrips, we were ecstatic. Our minimum riding temp was 20F. Then we realized that at that temp, any water on the road was frozen. So, we decided for safety sake to make our minimum 32F; air temp, not windchill. So now, that I ride 'cuz I like to ride . . . . I just don't see the enjoyment of riding when it's cold. Just because you can, doesn't make it fun.

Yup, it's all what we're acclimated to. We regularly stay over 100F for weeks, if not months. Hydration is the key. Meanwhile, Cycledude . . . . riding to breakfast . . . . in -6F. Nope.Being a northerner maybe i'm more accustom to cooler temps but not on the extreme sides like i experience, that's not fun anymore. . . .
Hi There,I ran a high fender set up on my Gen I when I did Alaska/Yukon. Prior to that I had raised the fender 2", but under full compression it hit a driving light I had center mounted under the nose. Broken fender was the result. This is the high fender set up. You can see the center mounted light. With this set up the fender doesn't move with the wheel, so no issues with clearance.

The fender does turn with the forks.

Figure out how far the forks will compress and if you have clearance. I don't know how much the forks compress in terms of a measured distance. If by 8" of clearance you mean to say you already moved the fender up, then it's a moot point.
We did our trip in June and even though it rained every other day or so, we didn't have mud build up issues. The Top of the World hwy was very wet, but had a lot of fresh gravel near the border that was more dangerous than the muddy sections, which didn't clog the tires. However, we did not go to Inuvik or Prudhoe Bay.
