kidney belt/back brace

[JWF]

I haven't used it, but I got an ad for a belt from Whitehorse, $50 or $55 for a leather one: http://www.whitehorsegear.com/communication?cn=380866&en=en1117&id=http://www.whitehorsegear.com/back-a-line-back-support-belt -JWF

The longer you ride the easier it becomes. If you can pack a sleeping bag or some other support behind your lower back, that might help too. Some may advise taking Ibuprofen or some other types of drugs but that also has side effects. Take lots of rest-breaks and drink lots of water. A wider seat helps also either a sheep skin or those wooden bead covers help air circulation. Highway pegs will give you a place to stretch out your legs a bit. Gel grips help if you have vibration or tingling in the hands. A better/taller windshield helps keep the wind from beating you up. Stay off the interstates........... You may cover more miles but you will be less comfortable doing it. An Evaporative Cooling Vest really helps when it is hot. > > Fred > http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com > > > > From: Bill > Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2011 8:14 AM > To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Kidney belt/back brace > > > On Friday I will embarking on a 1500-1600 mile, 8 day, ride through Oregon, Nevada, and California. I used wear a back support for long rides like the employees at Home Depot wear. It's a topic we haven't covered in a long time. Any thoughts and/or preferences? I'll be abusing my back falling timber up until the day of the ride. I really want to be comfortable during the 2 days I plan on riding 500+ miles. > > Bill > Still riding the A15 > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >
