Embarassing question
 

Handlebar muffs........just an idea at the moment, but I want a non-electrical alternative to heated grips for keeping my hands warm in the winter rides

Anyone use them on any bike? Will they get in the way of the steering at full lock if I use them?






Please don't punch me for thinking about using handlebar muffs

I saw a bike with handlebar muffs on Monday at Devil's Dyke. It looked crap.

Man they look sad. Just my opinion obviously, but way waaay sad.

Tried them on my SV ages ago, but didn't work that well and kept turning round.. or was it the bandit... anyway, know a couple of people that use them and they say they are good... if it was looking cool and loosing feeling in my fingers or staying warm but looking dorky i'd take warm and dorky anyday. JMO ;) Oh yeah, if you use them with the heated grips its so lovely and toasty :D

Vstrom hand guards!
Not as warm, but don't compress the levers like my muffs did

Pah, be a man. The feeling in your fingers will be gone after about 20 minutes so you won't feel anything after that.;)

Its just when you get to work and they start warming up again, now THAT smarts......

I'm not bothered about looks...i just want warm hands...

...im scared to fit the heated grips after the reg went, it indicates to me the electrics are a bit fragile

Stu, do they do a good job in winter when you have some decent gloves on?

As one that suffers from Raynauds I always use muffs during the winter. Linked with heated grips, I can use my summer gloves all through the winter.

I don't care what it looks like. Vanity is for the summer months.
