Default DL hand guards

Not that impressed with these hand guards. My hands are still cold with winter gloves on
First bit of bad advice from the org

Are the handlebar muffs any better?

They're in about the only position they can be. Took a lot of chopping just to get them to fit

could the lack of plastic there from you chopping them down have something to do with it?

If they'd fit, put the muffs over the hand guards,


Cheers

Fitted mine today, no cutting involved (SV650N).

I've read about fingertips being cold if they're sat a little high - my clutch lever looked to dip a bit low, so bent it up a touch. Can't see how they won't work though, but haven't tested yet.
