Hand Guards Only

[WannaBeDude]

I know about muffs and heated grips and good gloves, overgloves. But looking for any bcfers who use handguards only and say gortex gloves, and the effects on lessoning windchill etc

Fyi ... mainly 20 miles hoons where in COLD winter months, your hands soon get ..... cold.

These.

Only thing that might be a problem would be wind up the sleeves.
Wear a fleece underneath and that's sorted though.

I have the Wind deflectors on top of the Mirrors of the Pan. Which is just enough to push the wind flow above the bars, I never had them on the last Pan for £13 they are its well worth it.

I have Barkbusters Storm & Oxford heated grips. Expensive though.

If i was going far often, would get rng grups, but i like the renthal race grips i've just put on. Can't do any handguards that connect to the bar end.

The only thing i dont like so much about the renthal ones linked, is the draft holes as it were, though i still think they would do a good job as it were.

Not worried about sleeves, and the few replies here have not said what improvement they saw pre and after guard install.

My Barkbusters attach by clamps to the bars not to the bar end. They are roughly £80 though.

I put the wrong one in the link sorry. (I am right in thinking that you don't have clip ons?)

FWIW I understand the hand guards from the 1000 VStrom can be adapted via a dremmel to fit a wide range of other bikes.

Again they're not a cheap option thought to hack around with. Best check with bike owners club to check the specifics.

I'd love those on my CBR but I think I'd look a bit of a twat!

Have done in the past; far inferior to decent muffs.

You buy 20 k sports cars, and tell me to get milk bottles - FUCKOFF !!

Considering guards linked, but tempted now by those spammed heated gloves

I have the standard handguards on my TransAlp and wind-chill last night was -3 celcius, 25 miles no problem with GoreTex winter gloves.
