Fitting Bar Muffs...

[JakeRS]

Took delivery of my cosy bar muffs today, my question, how do they secure to the handlebars?

I have one end which is like bendy plastic inside the lining, which must be for your hand, the other end has one strap which doesnt seem to hold in in place?

I'm confused. I know they should attach and secure but how?

Ordinarily you just tighten the strap 'round the bars, inboard of the switchgear, although I normally make a hole in the muffs and put the mirror mount through them, (bolt in the mirror mount on a faired bike).
When they get a bit older thay can get a bit floppy, (fnarr), if this happens or if they flap about a bit, make a hole in the end and put the bar end screw with a washer on it through the hole so it's secured at both ends, this is a good idea if you find the muffs pull on the levers at higher speeds.

Got to say 'Thanks you Mr Squid' . Think my muffs are sorted now.

Thought I'd sorted it out at the weekend using some ally strip 3/4 inch wide as a frame for the front bit.

It did Keep the muffs of the levers but was not quite right especially as not being able to adjust the muffs independently( continuous strip of Ally running through both).
.....so I'm thinking 'what's the best way..' until I say your post.

So this morning sniped the Ally strip in half and applying your tip in addition to the Ally frame , it's more or less perfect now :thumbsup: .
I'll even go as far as saying 'The best ride I've had with Muffs' :roll: :).

Glad to be of service, in the words of Bill Hicks:
