Heated brake and clutch levers? - SV650.org

Bluepete · 22-02-13, 08:08 PM

I ride nearly all the time with the brake lever covered. I suppose the training sticks!

However, the levers do transfer the cold very quickly into my fingers which I just don't seem to be able to re-warm.

The question is, and I have had a Google about; are there heated levers available, or what's the recommended method of stopping the heat loss?

Can you get a neoprene skin to go over them?

Most heated gloves claim to heat right to the fingertips and the thumb so might be a good (albeit more expensive) way of sorting the problem out

Set of DL hand guards. Keeps all the wing blast off. I ride all year with summer gloves but in the winter I stick the guards on and turn on the heated grips. Warm and toasty.

Of course! Neoprene covers! Excellent.

I must be getting old. Heated grips, hand guards and now finger warmers !

Also take a blanket to put on your lap, and some slippers to keep your feet warm

Do you ride with your fingers on the brake and or clutch lever? If so don't then you won't get cold.
