The mitts I got for mine have that problem. I need to make a bracket that hooks to the mirror stem and goes all the way out to the end of the handle bar.. someday.

Those and gauntlet gloves kept my fingers toasty.

Why spend the money when you're sitting on a big heater?

I just reach down every few minutes and grip the engine for a few seconds. Provided your gloves are the right material and don't burst into flames (or singe, melt, or otherwise irreversibly change for the worse), you get a nice burst of heat.

... Course this works best on short trips through the city, and is mildly dangerous on a highway for long distances...

Yeah, I own one but havn't driven it or even licensed it in three years.
should probably join M A. That's motorcycles annonemous.
Hi, my name is Phelonius and I am a motorcycle addict. I'm un repentent and have no intentions of changing. I even get up and ride in the middle of the night when no one is looking. Etc etc.

Posts: 334 Iowa Gender:	Re: Angies'frigid digits Reply #13 - 11/20/09 at 11:30:37 So you're an MA, with a dim bulb and Moose's on your grips. Humm, no wonder why I like you. Thanks for thinking of me though, I appreciate the info. Now all I need is the gauntlet gloves, the wrap to go under my helmet, some chaps and heavier jacket. Oh, and a new seat. Hope Santa is good to me this year.
