but its hard to mount mitts to a sports bike without compromising the operation on the handlebars.

If you've got an SV, the handguards from a DL650 Vstrom do the job nicely for about 30 quid. Hundreds of posts and photos on the subject.

I have seriously thought about buying the old fashioned controller instead , you just set the dial to whatever temperature you require and then hit the centre of the dial to switch it all on . The downside to them is the switch can be left on and run your battery down so it`s best to fit them to the ignition so when the key is turned to off the power is cut . Plus they don`t look as PIMP as the new controller
