Cool, so did you put them on there for the leavers sake or for keeping your hands warm? How effective are they at keeping the draft off?

Re: Muff – is it dangerous?

Well they seem to keep most of wind off the top of my hands which was the main reason, but also to try and limit the amount the rain hitting my gloves. Though this has not be fully tested yet, they seem to work, though I think I might try the muffs over the top and see how that goes this weekend.

Tip get a heated waist coat, best way to keep you warm guarenteed your hands will be warmer because the blood in the core of your body is warmer so pumps warmer blood. Getting the picture lol

Anyone heard of someone getting their had trapped in a muff in an off? :reaper:

Use mine every single day now. No problems. I have oxford ones, which seem a bit more roomy than other muffs (oo-er) and never had any issues with steering lock and the like. Just experiment with how you strap them onto the bike; if I strap mine around the clip on, then theres not alot of room to lift my fingers up and over the levers. If I pull the strap around the top of the forks, then I find I have alot more room to reach the levers - Its like they arnt there. Slightly makes things colder, but not really much.

Muffs + heated grips will be very warm.

'I' am plenty warm really ‘I’ am not cold at all (well it ain’t warm, but I am not cold), it is just my hands that suffer, I only wear kangaroo leather (super thin) summer gloves (as they are safe (strength wise) and provide good feel ... when hands aren't -20 :D)) and have bad circulation in my hands!! :cry:
