Weather's gone a bit cold!
Could anyone recommend a pair of muffs that could fit over the handguards without too much hassle? I run a pair of barkbuster handguards.
In particular the Givi muffs look like they might do the trick, and cost less than the Tucano ones that the big GS-ers seem to use.

Re: Handlebar Muffs
My Dad has some Tech 7 ones. They were really cheap and therefore are not the best quality but he seems quite happy with them, he manages them over handguards too. Im trying them out on the YBR tomorrow so i'll let you know how they get on.

Re: Handlebar Muffs
HI, I have the Oxford ones. They have a 2" strip between the top and bottom layers.
Fur lined, waterproof. They fit over the top of the standard Honda hand gaurds. I must admit you do have to sortta push the left one out of the way to put a right hand indecator on but you soon adapt and just do it.
They don't apear to keep you any warmer UNLESS you have heated grips,then you really feel the difference.The best thing is that your gloves stay dry...thus your hands are warmer
Happy days.....
p.s. I'm a full time bike instructor and they have been fitted on my bike for the past 2 months.....

Can 100% recommend the Tucano muffs. They are excellant and not once have my hands been cold on the GS, and it's been ridden in the latest cold spell down to -7, handlebar heat on low. Toasty B)

Re: Handlebar Muffs
I have Oxford Sports muffs on my Versys which fit over normal handgaurds but they are too small to fit over the GS handgaurds which have the Touratech extender fitted on the top edge.
100% waterproof but best of all they are windproof and keep my hands warm without needing heated grips.
