I've used them. Looks crap, but looks significantly less crap than a crashed bike after you loose control due to frostbitten fingers. ;)

A bike being used in the winter loooks good muff or no muff
a bike in the garage being cleaned over winter looks uncool

nobody likes an untidy muff though

The guards let you get away with gloves that aren't perfect. They keep a lot of rain & wind chill off, plus good for car wing mirroes etc :-dd
Admittedly my muffs are crap, but seriously do good ones not press against the levers at, say, 100?

Well...i'll see if i can find someone who will let me put their muffs on my handlebars, and then I can see what its like. As long as it dosnt get in the way and lets me use all the steering lock I have, I'll get a pair. Not certain if the vstrom handgaurds would bit my curvy, or if they'l get in the way

But dont laugh if you see my bike with muffs on

And I will remove them when its warm enough to not need them

:nemo:

muffs provide excellent wind (and thus cold) protection. but hand guards usually suffice. I installed GS1150 hand guards on my TDM and except for 2 occasions i wore my summer gloves throughout last winter (granted, 't wasn't the coldest of winters).

Yep, I'll be looking at that too. Good ones seem to be in short supply but it's worth a look.

The Spada Force 2 WP gloves are what I use now, really superb- warmer than the HG Pathans or either of the similiar ones I've tried, in a 4-finger armoured design. They're thicker and a wee bit more restrictive than the Pathans, mind, but not to the extent of some winter gloves, I've no problems living with it. Cheapish, too, £40 off EBay. They won the last RIde winter gloves test.
