have you tried?

the wind saps the heat from the glove and it feels like its not even on. without the heated gloves, your hands would be frozen like ice. with some handguards it should get it back to being toasty again.
coldest I've ridden was 5 degrees and through a snow storm in Montana......freaking July bang head
My hands stayed warm with those gloves.

I put the Barkbusters S5 on my Monster. Worked with the stock bar and work with the Speedy Moto Clip Ons.
Install in bar end only, no interference with levers.
The guards were going to come off for summer but that hasn't happened. Work out well in the rain too.
Easily adds 10 degrees of comfort. Though I confess I'm riding the BMW RS1100RS in the cold temps now,
I'm finding I have to battle the cold just a little less. Along with a small fairing, it has, yes, handguards.

Not sure how they'd hold up if you find your Monster on the ground frequently.

doesnt see mto work for me. i have Gerbing Microwire G3s (or G something) when you hit 80mph on the freeway they cant keep up. i do have to add that i just sent them back in for warranty processing since they arent working anymore. so maybe they have been defective this whole time

I've got barkbuster storms on my m750. Works a treat for the cold, massive difference. I ride every day, rail hail or shine. Might take the off for summer. Also great for a light shower, still dry.
