Post a picture of your latest purchase

Almost squeaked by the rest of riding season without a bike. I picked up a 'little' winter project to tinker with; 2006 Kawi ZX14. It is my first bike over 1000cc and it's a missile on wheels.

I had no intentions of buying another bike this year, nor was I even looking when I picked it up. It found it's way to me, literally. Too good of a deal to pass up. It needs a few things here and there but all the major parts are and I already have the missing front fender and mirrors put on.

Bout one of these covers today in kryptek highlander. Stole the factory pic, I'll put my own up someday.

Tactical fleshlight?

^^^ Cover for the suppressor, pretty much...

Just curious...what does a suppressor cover actually do, besides the obvious?

Haha sorry just being a smartass. I dig it, it always reminds me of the canvas-wrapped Sten suppressors.

It helps to mitigate the heat mirage when used on a rifle with magnified optics

Ah...learn something new every day. Thanks.

It's also nice insurance for accidentally grabbing it after a few mags. Make that mistake once and they're worth it regardless.

e: Actually might be totally wrong on these new ones. I'd used them on the Sten, one on some post sample AR, and MAC10, and those were for that purpose, but I googled it and yeah looks like now the selling point is the mirage prevention. Do they still protect your hands or are they now just completely for mirage reduction?

Yeah the inner core is good up to 2000°f and the outer is like 3000°f, the rope has a higher heat rating than the putter cover. Got for the heat mirage, my sbr (don't accidentally burn myself/ melt my pants, and now I can put it down on a table without melting or burning the table which I've done by accident.
