Decided to get some handguards because I cant seem to find a pair of gloves that do the trick (haven't tried heated). I know there is a thread about handguards, but all of them are painted MX style guards. I thought these might look better on my bike. These are national cycle hand deflectors that cost about 80. They took about 15 min to put on and will be easy to take off. I wasn't crazy about having these on my bike, But they do make a big difference. With the gloves I have, I couldn't ride long in the low 40's before my hands (especially my fingers) would freeze. Now I can remove the liners of the same gloves in the same temps and be comfortable. With the liners, Im comfortable down to the 30's now. I went out in the low 20's the other night and made it about 30 min before the tips of my fingers froze. So, Im thinking a good pair of heated gloves and I'll be unstoppable!

 

here's another angle

 

and another. sorry, I could only load one pic at a time

 

Like I mentioned in that other thread, I had a set on my VTX. They keep the wind and bugs off. Wasn't crazy about the looks and my hands still got cold down in the 20's/30's. Heated gear for me now. If they work and you're happy w/ them, then that's all that matters.

Nice lookin' bike btw.

 

Thanks. I was thinking about just getting heated gloves, but a lot of what I read about them is that they didnt keep the outside of the hands that warm. the handguards keep the outside warm by keeping the wind off, but they dont keep 23 degree weather off your fingertips. Which gloves do you use?

 

The Gerbings keep all the hand warm.

 

Use the Gerbing's T5's. Thicker insulation and oversized gauntlets. Never too hot and always comfortably warm...the whole hand.

 

A vendor here makes some nice ones! https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-P...g/248012368229

 

I've used these same National Cycle hand deflectors for three years, they go on in November and come back off the end of February. They work for me.

 

I used those for years, great product in the winter.
