XT660z......What a machine!!

Current mods:- Yamaha top box, Yamaha hanguards, Heated grips, High front fender, Aux lighting front/rear.

They last a while, depends on the conditions, how many times you insert/remove them and more importantly, how you store them.

Keep them dry and clean (no water - ever!) and you'll get a weeks commuting out of them. A hot,. dusty, sweaty cross country ride will give you maybe 2 or three days... For weekend warriors, the'y might last a month or two.

I can obtain as many as I like from work. Don't bother for commuting as its 10 minutes max, so only use for going for a spin. The thought of re-inserting them with ear wax/grubby fingers etc. is a bit gross! The only time I would re-use is at a fuel stop where I take my lid off. Other than that, chuck 'em! They come in sterile packages in pairs: http://www.screwfix.com/p/peltor-nex...00-pairs/28317
Tip: keep some spares in your jacket pocket.

I use the howard leigh laser lites as I suffer from tinnitus which is grossly worse after a ride on the bike. Might be something to do with working in the metal industry and playing drums in a band for 3 years.
Always wear either full leathers or textiles what ever the weather. and a full dainese back and chest protector
Reason............
When training scuba diving I took in a group of young disabled men into the pool for a go on the diving gear. One of them was 22 years old and was paralysed from the waist down.....he came off a bike at 30 mph and hit a curb breaking his back. I went out and bought one the next week.

A friend used to take the mick out of my back protector but went out and bought one and then slid across a roundabout and up the curb.
Totally unhurt and not a scratch. He doesnt take the mick out of any PPE now.
