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.

Yes.  But I have perforated gloves.  Its about 50F in the morning now and my hands are going numb during my 30min commute  boo

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?

50oF sounds great. The highest temperature I saw today was 39oF

Just buy some winter gloves, your hands will be cold even with handguards.  You might also consider heated grips, they are sweet  waytogo 

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.
