    Its that time of year where fingers are freezing, i've just bought some handlebar muffs and tried them today but have heard mixed reviews. I ended up taking the left one off as until i fit it properly it kept pushing my choke on. Will have to cut slots for mirrors and cables before they are a snug fit.
    I find that my fingers numb more on the faster routes so thought that cutting the wind chill would help, i noticed that trial bikes have a kind of guard that fits in front of the lever, is there a wind deflecting version of these as not totally comfy with putting my hands into these muffs. Keep it clean...

    you can get various height lever guards/brush guards. you probably want the higher mx type. they also come with slits in more for warmer conditions. not too expensive aftermarket ones to try or you can get the dearer specialist branded ones you can fit if you get on with them

    I used muffs once and burned a clutch out on a brand new Honda. I brought a pair of Bergin heated gloves imported from Canada. They are fantastic, used them for years now.
    Counting down until my next ride out!

    A good ride is any ride you can walk away from, a GREAT ride is if you can use the bike afterward.”

    Ever considered after market heated grips ? My pan has them fitted as standard equipment and they are superb. A friend at work has the aftermarket ones and says they are something he should have put on years ago. Tech-7 digital ones from M&P are under £40

    Try pure silk gloves under your winter bike gloves.

    If you buy tucano urbano muffs you don't have to cut anything and they cannot press on your levers.

    Oxford heated grips are good, cant fit brushguards or muffs on the blade, theres no room.

    Roxtor grips are under £30 and made by Oxford, just half the price.

    Tucano muffs will go on a blade. I had some on all my bikes including a cbr and Gsxr.
