Moto X hand guards on a commuter bike

[mrtEE]

I would like to fit some plastic Moto X hand guards onto my CB250 night hawk commuter hack to keep the winter chill off. I have heated grips but these alone are not good enough, they only heat the inside of your hands.

So I'm wondering if anyone can give information/ links to specific guards that will universally fit onto the bars, ive read somewhere you can get some that fit onto the lever bolts. Theres plenty for sale on ebay at the moment, jsut need to find out which oines fit and are any good

It might look a bit funny but i suppose it's a good idea. Function over form.

Why not just get a set of muffs ?
Waterproof and windproof,they'kk keep your hands in fine condition. About £25.

Got to say, they look a little unsafe for my liking. I dunno.

i bought some muffs like that at the nec for £15 and they are the best £15 I have ever spent on a motorbike item.

Ive had to do a few hours on the motorway recently and they really keep the cold wind and rain off nicely.

They arent unsafe. In the past I have ridden with 2 or even 3 pairs of gloves on to keep my hands warm, but you cant feel the controls properly.

Because the muffs go over your controls, you dont have that problem.

they are really easy to fit. You slide them over the handlebar and then just tighten a nylon webbing buckle to keep it in place. The kind of buckle you get on ruckstrap shoulder straps. buckle may be the wrong word.

Not sure, I would need to see them in the flesh. Possibly that in the event of a crash you couldn't get your hands out quickly. But it's probably unfounded as I can't really picture how they fit your hands.

Plus I don't actually see how having your hands free in a crash is a bad thing. I'm probably being a bit anal.

[colin1]

the bits your hands go in to arent tight so they dont restrict you getting your hands out. they are like putting your hands into a bag

I went to a moto-x store nearby and got some univeral ones, then cut them where needed and screwed each one down and cable tied for good mesure..

Should be easy enough to get some.. just get honda/kawazaki whatever then use your imagination

Only way to have warm hands is heated gloves, hanguard helps allot (had some on my cx) but your hands will allways be looseing heat.. heated grips are only any good if its not so cold...

id prefer to look stupid to a stupid person, than ride around for any length of time with cold hands.

If I had to use my Ninja in the winter for along commute I'd use them.
