Getting really cold hands especially on the way to work in the morning - and its going to get worse as it gets colder!
I dont want heated grips because have a habit of riding with my fingers covering the clutch/brake and its my fingertips that are suffering the most.
Has anyone used heated glove liners? And if so, please can you recommend a make and shop to get them
its a circulation thing, try raising your bars if you can, anything to change position. its comon in winter as people generally wear more and do gloves tight, ends up slowing circulation to your hands making them cold :)…or buy warmer gloves 
Or less clothes.
oxford bar mitts!! they look s**t but keep your hands cosy and dry!!!
if you use them for commuting/mundane journey they are brilliant.
easy to take of for posing at weekends…
(remember- the despatchers use them!!!)
Not a fan of those. Have seen what can happen to a riders hand if it can’t get free of them in an accident.Anita…you’ve got the perfect thing in ya office hinny…Surgical Gloves! 
Try our custom made ex Spada overtrouser waterproof overmitts. A boon in any situation, from motorcycling to trout tickling, these are the best.
Only available on special order, send a photocopy of your gloved hand for accurate sizing. Prices on application.
On public display at the next Jetstream rideout, Sat 25th Oct from the Ace to Walton on the Naze.
But I want to pose all the time!! 
(even when wobbling around mini-roundabouts in rush hour!)
The Oxford muffs are a ‘general’ solution that doesn’t work that well for anyone. Pay a bit more and get Bagster muffs (Google for them, they are bespoke for every bike). Expect to pay about GBP50 delivered, but they will keep your hands warm. I’ve used various ones for the last four years and 90,000 miles on several bikes, and in combination with heated grips enable me to use just thin summer gloves all year round, while having warm hands.
The extra advantage of heated grips is that warming the blood via your hands helps to keep your core temperature up, which helps concentration when it’s cold. ‘Vital’ in more ways than one.
Aren’t cold hands awful?
Having been down the bar mitts and thermal glove liner route, I’ve concluded that the only real solution is heated clothing. There are several manufacturers, including Gerbing and EXO2. They run off your bike’s electrics and have a controller that adjusts and regulates the temperature.
Gloves alone are not cheap at around £100, but so astonishingly effective that eventually you’ll come to see them as a bargain.
I use Gerbing heated gloves and waistcoat bought in the US. Mine are into their second season now and have been faultless. Be aware, however, that some people have in the past reported reliability problems with some gloves made by Gerbing Europe. Not sure what the situation is now. Heard good things about EXO2 but have not tried them myself.
Team gloves with the heated waistcoat and you’ll be really toasty. The key to beating wind chill is to maintain your core body temperature. If this begins to fall, then circulation to your extremities is cut and your hands and feet will feel really cold. Allow your core temperature to fall further and you’ll meet Madame Hypothermia and her frozen fingers of doom.
A heated waistcoat that is keeping up my core temperature actually makes my hands and feet stay warmer anyway, and so I tend only to need the heated gloves only on long journeys and bitterly cold days.
Hope this helps!
a real quick and cheap way that i found helps is to wrap a bit of insulating tape or similar round your levers, then your fingers arent in close contact with the cold metal !! takes the sting out if not actually warming your hands
works for me anyway:P
I wear Lobster claw gloves if it gets cold and they work a treat.
Bagster Muffs . . . I notice the .com site is available . . . I’ll write the business plan if someone can take the photographs! :w00t:
other than propper winter gloves bar muffs are indeed the best way…
form over fuction?
The main problem is due to the exposed nature of the hands, they take the wind blast directly and are therefore subject to the wind chill factor. The faster you go the colder it feels/gets. There are several solutions:
1 Muffs
2 Handguards like those fitted to BM GS, V-Strom, Transalp and others
3 Heated grips
4 Heated gloves
5 Lobster Gloves (work by reducing surface area, radiated heat loss directly related to surface area).
6 Liners, such as Coldkillers or silk undergloves
Not everyone finds one exactly to there liking. The best idea is the muffs, and hand guards as I stated above they remove your hands from the high speed cold air and therefore reduce the cooling effect massively. Heated grips only heat in the inside of your fist, heated gloves heat all over.
Under gloves work by providing more layers of insulation, trapping air between the layers. But will result in less feel, you do get used to this.
Finally you could do what I saw the bandit 600 rider doing this morning at the lights. Lean forwards and place your gloved hands on the oil cooled gsxr block while waiting for the lights to change.
I bought some Oxford handlebar muffs and they’ve been a disaster for me - awkward in town and on the motorway they pushed in my clutch and brake levers. Clearly they’re good for some people but not me.Heated grips and a change in handlebar-holding technique are the way to go, imho, although I have heard that heated gloves are good.
Cant remember the make of the gloves but a bit of surfing should find them. Basically a two part glove. Inner part was a Thinsulate cloth glove and then a water and wind proof outer. I rode from London to Salisbury in winter in a rain/hail storm on my old R6 and my hands were toasty and dry when I got to the other end.
OK, from a cruising site but usefull never the less

Heated grips and change your finger habits.
Gerbing for me. Works a treat. Expensive but good.
I do the same thing most mornings
