New Hand Shields
#12
I just installed new hand shields on my RG. After looking around and only finding plastic shields that look like crap I clicked onto a forum advertiser's link - Great Bike Gear, and found some thing that looks cool and could almost pass for OEM. No more cold fingertips when winter finally gets here!

THx for this post...it got me interested in the product so I purchased a black set for my black 09 FLHP. They are very functional and are the best looking version that I have come across.
Here are some photos of them installed:

Thanks for posting. Been looking for a better locking set of these.
Tori, do you give a forum Member discount for these shields?

I have the National Cycle plastic ones no one likes. I had great hopes but was severely disappointed on the first cold ride. It seems the mirrors on the short stalks deflect the wind down onto one's knuckles perhaps even more so than without the hand shields. My hands were just as cold as before. I would take them off if it weren't for the bugs that get smashed on them. The summertime big ones would hurt on exposed knuckles or fingers. I hope these are better designed but the pictures make me suspect you will have the same results I did.

For home made, milk jugs and liter soda bottles work well as shields.

[QUOTE=Gonzy;13136822]Yep, I have heated grips and even with my Gerbings gloves my fingers turn blue with the wind rushing against my hands when it's cold.
If that's the case you need a new pair of Gerbing gloves. I have 2 pair...The original gauntlet gloves are warm but very bulky. I bought a new pair of the nubuck (new offering from Gerbing) gloves a few years back and they only keep my hands barely warm. Gerbing discontinued them quickly. The new T-5 seem to be like my originals, warm and bulky.
