Added two pieces of functional ugliness

icecaps · 2011-12-10 03:38:57

Heated grips died after about 3 ? years. I replaced them with a set of hand shields and Avon Boss grips like ?antman27? asked about a couple of days ago. Took it out for a quick 45 mile ride at highway speeds in 42* weather. They worked pretty well and kept the wind off the hands. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-glide-models/712138-avon-boss-performance-grips.html http://greatbikegear.com/store/hand-shields-c-74.html?osCsid=cf5b42c83deabc283ec22123e81ab6d9 http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w210/icecaps65/Shield.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w210/icecaps65/Grip.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w210/icecaps65/Front-1.jpg

Added two pieces of functional ugliness

Heated grips died after about 3 ½ years. I replaced them with a set of hand shields and Avon Boss grips like “antman27” asked about a couple of days ago. Took it out for a quick 45 mile ride at highway speeds in 42* weather. They worked pretty well and kept the wind off the hands.

I dig em! To me I really don't mind the look, especially with the fairing. My hands are always the first thing to get cold. I will be ordering a set! Thanks

How do the shields actually attach to the bars? I was thinking of making my own from scrap at work but the only thing I was thinking for attaching was using the mirror posts.

I have the National Cycle hand shields on my bike, Luv them.
I wear my mechanic gloves with them down to the 40's.
And I wouldn't mind trying those grips....
