I bought some T2's from Stickboy, and they're pretty awesome

My brand new Woodcraft Tire Bakers (http://www.woodcraft-cfm.com/Scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=12830) showed up last week.  I put off replacing some old ones until they were available.  Eric told me about them probably November of 2006, and I'm really happy I waited.

Did you get the dual-temp or the fully adjustable ones?  I need a new set this year too, and I've been looking at these.  The Chickenhawks I use on the SV are the smaller size and won't fit a 180/190 rear properly.

I got one set of the fully adjustable ones and also a second set of the new dual temp ones.  Both look really nice.

I got the fully adjustable ones.  Which is a simple term.  The dual temps have to positions, the "fully adjustables" have four.  I like it since I think the hardware won't have problems when you're hitting buttons so many times to get to your new temperature. 

Either has the little drop cord that shuts the warmer off if you take it off.  That's a nice "in a rush"/"my girl friend/wife took them off" and didn't unplug them and now they are a pile goo preventer. 

The dual one is probably more than enough, but I like the adjustability.

For what it's worth, the T2's have great coverage of the tire, are digital, and have a fully adjustable heating range.....

 :thumb:  +1 on T2. 

The Fuel Moto warmers are the same as T2. So +1 for those as well.  I do like that the T2's have C - F table just above the box though. Makes converting temps soooo much easier.
