Finally found a few minutes to get them molded up. Not too bad. Not a high dollar pair of plugs, but they're OK. I'm not too impressed with the sound quality of the ear buds. Music sounds a little "tinny". I'm more interested in them blocking out some of the road noise and wind. Gonna go for a short ride in the morning, so we'll see how they work.....

I have these
Brand New Sennheiser Orange CX 380 Sport II In-Ear Headphones | eBay

There are better prices for them than this one - I paid around $15 with postage
They are excellent and come with different size earbuds.

Wow - that was a totally random guess on my part !

Guess what you picked a frigging great tire as a mate
of mine ( the Guy I found a 5k miles 1996 1000f for)
had me order and put them on his ------------------

All I can say is they are my next tires !

Solid rubber down the center - great compound - and are
wearing great for him

-

Pulled the gauges off my 87 this am (problems)- replacement
going on this evening - milege goes back to 7500 from 16 k - lol

Just got back from a short (40 mi) ride and I'm happy to report the saddle bags didn't go flying off my motorcycle Some of you wanted to know how they'd do, and I couldn't be happier with them.
Also got a chance to try out the Fuze ear plugs/ear buds. They work well. They don't block out 100% of the noise, but then again, I'm not sure I'd want something that did. Music still sounds "tinny" through the ear buds, but it is what it is. Something I forgot to mention in my original post about the ear plugs, was I also bought the optional volume control cord. It plugs inline between your audio source and the cord for the ear buds. Overall I'm happy with them. They do what I was hoping they'd do and would recommend them to anybody looking at ear plugs/ear buds....

Well not entirely for the CBR but I installed a external outside 220 outlet and switch for the compressor and Powder coating oven (then coated my neighbors sons dirtbike rims). They came out great. When I do my bearings I may have to do mine.
