#235722 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:Winter riding gear 2 Years, 6 Months ago   I put on hand deflectors to greatly cut down on the amount of wind that gets in between my fingers. When it gets below 30 F, I put on a set of Lectra gloves, drop a D-cell battery into each, and ride for up to three hours. Hand deflectors: $80. Gloves: $30.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1868 Re:Winter riding gear 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Where did you find the hand deflectors??   Logged     Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: I SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 7096 Re:Winter riding gear 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Here is a Link for hand deflectors for the Yamaha. I think Frank W has them too and really likes them. They are around $80 but you could probably make your own without too much trouble.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/06 14:59 By Darn.   Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #235842 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Winter riding gear 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Yea I went with the MS fairing partly for the look but mostly to get the wind off my hands in winter, It did do a little of that but lets a LOT of air by that the WS/HD lower set up didn't. I should have got the hand deflectors. In a emergency I have cut some out of a Plastic notebook cover and slip them over the levers with a bow in the center to grap the lever and they do work! Also seen the mitt type but that looks a little dangerous.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235849 Kai_Sayson (User) The Wind is the Spirit...

Senior Boarder Posts: 351 Re:Winter riding gear 2 Years, 6 Months ago   When i was off road racing most of the guys i rode with made their own deflectors with heavy gauge plastic and a heating torch, some of them made them out of laundry soap bottles (they even had different colors, and they looked like they just bought them from a bike shop) so they could ride all winter long with warm hands. Plus it kept the rocks being thrown from the bikes in front of you off your hands. My KTM has them and i can tell you they really keep the cold air off your hands.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235937 Transam1 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 650 Re:Winter riding gear 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Darn wrote: Here is a Link for hand deflectors for the Yamaha.

Has anyone tried those glove looking things ? I think there called Hippo hand or something. Look pretty ugly but wonder how they work.

I used a snowmobile suit and I never even knew it was cold out side no matter what the temp dropped to be. I also rode in Iowa when it was -10 F and had no problems. Just keep your face covered with a warm mask and a full face helmet.   Logged     Ask Jesus for Forgiveness before it is too late!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
