I've found a spot to stash a cloth. There's a gap under the handlebars where they connect to the yoke. I tried it this morning. It's ok but not a great solution. The problem is putting the cloth back in place on the move and with thick gloves on.

Could you not tie it to that place with a length of elastic.?

It still needs to be put back in place, otherwise it'll flap about or end up on the radiator.

The cloth idea didn't work. It soon became damp and dirty.

The quest for a solution continues,

You could hang a bucket off the handlebars.

Or two. One for clean water, one for dirty.


Or this for UK roads...

Nice idea but filtering could be tricky.

I can't think of a solution either. I don't have anywhere I can wedge a sponge or cloth either. I was shoving my gloves up inbetween chin and chinguard and spitting on them the other day to wipe the visor, but the gloves are pressing on my face so it goes everywhere. That chemical grit still tastes salty.

Sounds desperate but I could literally see **** all, and nowhere to pull over at the time as it was a bypass.

This doesn't look too bad.

Looks like someone has been reading Kwacky's gripes, and invented the answer.! (nod)
:? I wonder if it's priced to suit a solicitor for whom money is low on their priorities.?
