Title: Handle bar covers Post by: mysticbluex3 on November 16, 2011, 09:06:14 PM Anyone put handlebar covers on their monster? Like the ones on dirt bikes? I'm looking for something that will block the wind from my hands.

what do you need them for though. Don't you live here in PHX? Title: Re: Handle bar covers Post by: mysticbluex3 on November 17, 2011, 07:10:54 AM Yes. But I have perforated gloves. Its about 50F in the morning now and my hands are going numb during my 30min commute [thumbsdown]
I figure its cheaper to buy hand guard than a new set of gloves. I searched "motorcycle hand guard" but didn't return with much. Where did everyone get theirs?

You might also consider heated grips, they are sweet [thumbsup]
rockymotomc.com has an assortment of heated grips (or elements to go under your grips) as does twistedthrottle. rmc also has a big selection of handguards. For quick and easy warm hands you could try a pair of hippo hands. They look as goofy as they sound, but would probably fit on a monster and are very warm. |
