Hand guards

National Cycle Deflectors

I used the national cycle deflectors on my rocket. The holes have to be enlarged slightly for the mirror stems.I also added a slightly longer bracket for more clearance. (optional)

My favorite everyday riding gloves are made of deer skin..very soft and warm, they are not hot in the summer. Cow leather sucks...hard and cold
You can find them sometimes at Home Depot or Lowes around $20.

Here in North Carolina...it does get cold here, so I have a full set of heated clothes, socks and gloves. No special wiring needed...Mine just plugs into the same wire as my battery tender.

I love going to the mountians in the winter to ride...The Dragon....Skyway....Parkway. Just have to watch the weather and make sure no snow...or rain...Winter riding there is just for pure pleasure...no hot rodding or speeding. I have been up there for 3 days riding and not seen one M/C...

Dang........I am going to start to watch the weather up there...I feel the need to Ride there...

Thanks Daryl, I'm also considering these.

Hippo Hands are the best, unfortunately the owner is retiring, and no longer making them. Interesting, these say they do not fit over hand guards, while Hippo Hands recommends hand guards, to keep the wind pressure from interfering with your brake and clutch levers.

Pony up and get a pair of warm gauntlet gloves.. You should be more concerned about getting a warm sleeping bag and a decent tent.Also don't expect to eat a hot meal you'll be hard pressed to find any decent food in Yellowstone. Pig out in Jaskson Hole and take snacks into the park to tie you over. I spent two nights in Yellowstone around August 8th it went from 80* during the day to 32* at night. Early mornings will be the coolest for riding, it warms up after that.

I have them on my Tiger. Believe it or not it does get cold here in the panhandle of Florida (Fort Walton Beach/Pensacola area). Cold meaning it gets in the low 20s on occasion. I was riding on the interstate one morning when it was around 30 degrees and my hands were freezing. The whole time I was riding I was thinking about my bike being prewired for heated grips and also that handguards were an accessory option. Well, long story short I had handguards on the bike within the next couple of weeks. The reason I'm posting is to let you know my thoughts on them. I think they help a little, but nearly as much as I had hoped. My hands still get cold with them. I think the air flows over the top and right onto my knuckles. I'm thinking I may go ahead and get heated grips and between the two, hopefully, my hands will stay warm. Another thought I've had, however, is to simply get some heated gloves. I'd love to find some reasonably priced gloves that operate on battery (no need for wires plugged into the bike).

Anyway, just thought I'd share my experience for your consideration.

heated grip only warm the inside of your hands your finger tips still get very cold in a hurry
I removed the heated grips and use now a euro sleeve on each grips no more cold airflow on my regular gloves much simpler and better

I may be a cheap bastard, but I picked up a pair of hand guards that look similar to the ones in the pic Tripps posted from Walmart for ~$35 on clearance...they keep the wind off my hands but kinda freak me out a little. They were actually marketed for ATV's
