How do gloves differ? there are so many types. A. Primarily with the level of protection.

Avoid leather called Amara or Clarino like plague. Q. Are the Gloves Waterproof? A. No. Gloves are not waterproof and are mainly for Dry Weather use unless specified otherwise. Normally Winter gloves are WaterResist and are not so usable in Summer/Sunny days. There is no such thing as an all weather glove, at least we don't have it. Q. Are Synthetic leather gloves more durable than Genuine Leather Gloves? A. No chance. Btw, we don't use Amara(TM) or Clarino(TM) synthetic leather. All Our gloves have a standard genuine leather palm which lasts 4 times longer than the sub-standard Synthetic variants. Q. What are these Full Gauntlets Gloves and why should I care? A. Gauntlets are Meaner, Tougher Gloves (Like TRG2) which cover the wrist and protect your wrists till the point where the Jacket elbow armour takes over. They are used mostly for Touring and Racing.

So, please spend a few minutes to understand the basic usage. Saddlebags Load both sides with equal weight to prevent balance problems. Pack neatly avoiding bulges in the bags. Keep the hard pads (provided) in the base before packing. Keep the bags closed while riding. Make sure any sharp part of the bike (eg Foot Pedal) isn't constantly poking the saddlebags. Make sure any loose straps are not touching any moving parts. Don't leave the bags in rain for a long time (more than a hour or so). Don't use it on any bike which is not suitable. Don't use Stallion on a Pulsar for example. Don't mount them on the MudGuard (Solo Seat Riders). Wet Scrub to clean, don't dip in water and preferably don't use a washing machine. Tankbags Pre-Mount:- Make sure that the flippers and the Tank contact area are wiped clean. Not doing so will result in two things: Bad Grip Scratches on your Tank Scratches on the flippers Mount: When you put them on make sure that flippers are fully in contact with the Tank. Slide the magnets as downwards as possible to get the best grip and move away from any extra fittings on the Tank like Emblems etc. UnMount:- To take the Turtle off the Tank, don't pull the bag and force the Flippers/magnets to rub the tank. Instead Lift the Flippers away from the Tank by holding their ends and slowly pull the bag away from the tank. Otherwise You may end up damaging the flippers and/or the Tank paint. On Road: Make sure that the flippers are tightly hugging the tank always. Check once in a way esp a bad stretch an see how it behaves, after a while you'll get used to mounting the bag correctly and you may stop checking for it eventually. It the bag is loosely mounted then just pull the flippers downwards and make sure the tightness is maintained. Magnets: Keep Equipment sensitive to magnetic field like Film rolls, Media and Electronic goods like Cameras, Laptops, MP3 players away from the flippers, say atleast about 6-8 inches away. You can keep whatever you want in the bags but, this is when you are riding. Just prevent direct contact of the magnets to the equipment that's all. Everything should be fine otherwise. Wash Care: Don't put the bags in a washing machine or dip fully in water. If the bag gets dirty. Spray Soapwater on it and scrub with a brush. ^Top
