Not unless you put them on the wrong way around :wink: but I know what you mean, doubt it

Found one in the main site gallery. Look like strom ones to me. Which means btw that POSSIBLY any aftermarket guard like Acerbis that fits the strom MIGHT fit the SV (by reverse ill-logic)

Honestly dude.
I'm too tight to pay for heated grips, would probably blow up the bike even if I did try and fit them and because I'm gonna have to use the bike through winter this year I wanted to give my poor little hands some sort of protection from the elements.
I admit that they may not be the most beautiful accessory in the world but what the hell. When I'm passing those metal coffins on the roads in December I ain't gonna give a rats ass how it looks. :lol:

for winter riding yea agree'd, prob a good thing better than frost bite. :)

Hmmm...
For a an extra £15 and less than an hours work you could have had lovely warm hands courtesy of Forest Edge Retail on eBay. But your choice I guess :wink:

I'm a right wuss! :D I use hand guards and heated grips during the winter. The guards really take the edge off on a cold ride, especially if it is raining.

Can you tell me where I can get some from for my curvy 2000 S please?

I would prefer these to heated grips, as they are less hassle and my mate reckons his heated grips aren't that brill with the windchill.

Cheers

Tony
