Currently on a 40 mile commute - fingers stopped working when I got to Kentish town - nearly went up the high street on the back wheel when my fingers just gave up the ghost and I kept popping the clutch lol!
Cant be arsed to fit heated grips to 10 year old hack - do bar end muffs fit sports bikes?
Any crafty solutions to keeping hands warm that doesn’t involve heated grips/muffs (unless muffs for sportsbike)?

Take the car?
No, sorry, I’m just kidding. (damn - wrong forum)
With deep regret I have to say that bar muffs work quite well.
What a pity they as they have to rate as about the aesthetically saddest motorcycle accessory.
you could try stopping half way and cupping a hot cup of coffee for 5 minutes?
i stop and grab the exhaust just below the can
…
why are there so few threads on this subject…someone reckons golfers mittens but **** knows what they are!
try furry muffs
I find my lobster claw gloves are very good in stopping freezing fingers.
Can you get those at any bike shop?
Never seen them before in shops.
Ok, first and foremost, get yourself a decent set of winter gloves!
Second, most of the coldness you get in your fingers is from the windchill factor (cold air at high speed!) and also from contact between your fingers and the clutch lever. So, I’d recommend getting some insulating tape and covering your clutch lever with it so that you are not getting direct contact with the metal. If you don’t believe me, tape only half of your clutch lever and see which fingers go numb!
As you’ve already mentioned, get some muffs to cut out the wind. 
I read that ‘during the wahhhh’ RAF bomber crew used 3 layers of gloves.
First silk undergloves, then thin Chamois gloves , finally thick fleece lined heavy leather gloves.
So I used silk undergloves and they improved the situation by about 50% on a 10 mile commute…
Hard to get hold of silk gloves now but layering seems to help a lot…but you need decent winter gloves as well.
Windproof liner gloves do a good job, under a set of waterproof winter gloves. Keeps my hands snug for an hour. Put both the gloves and liner gloves on a radiator before leaving for work for extra toastie digits.
Or you could buy a Moto Guzzi or BMW with a boxer engine.
Then at every traffic light you grab each cylinder head with your hands…
It works!
Don’t try grabbing the exhaust though - Gore Tex and leather don’t like it…
Agreed, what sad phuck would ever be seen using them!
Latex gloves under your winter gloves is good, use 2prs. Even the diesel one from the petrol station work - layers;)
Oh, muffs work well on crossers cause they generally have bark busters (hand guards). These help hold the muffs off the clutch and f/brake levers! Your emergency stops can be a bit fraught from higher speeds when the wind is pushing the muff against the levers slowing getting your finger around the lever!
Hein Gericke sell them. So does the bike shop in Old Stevenage.
first of all keep the core from loosing temp by good windproof and thermal gear. as the core looses temp the body stops the circulation to the ends to preserve the vital organs.
I work out before the commute (to have an even warmer core) and then try not to loose to much heat.
if your core is warm and fingers are still cold it may be down to bad circulation (not much you can do there i dont think) so follow above instructions havent tried this but have heard of ppl wearing latex gloves underneath.
Sorry Nath, but first off IMO:
Do your best to put already warm hands into the gloves in the first place!
Make sure you have a good (body) core temperature (eating certain food helps I believe) and good enough circulation (from being fit) to keep it flowing to your extremities.
Then do the taping/ layering/ glove magic

The model name is Pathan.
When I put them on the Hornet, Terry-moto showed me the solution to the problem of muffs pushing back on the levers.
Poke a hole through the outside edge of the muff where the bar end would be and secure the muff onto the bar; this should avoid it coming any further back at all but the most illegal speeds when you would probably freeze because of the wind chill anyway
If the muffs are made by a quality company like Baglux and designed for your model of bike there should be no lever or switch fooling problems. Cheap Oxford muffs can work but as mentioned, often need modding.
Good winter gloves, thin inside gloves and MUFFS ALL THE WAY!!! I done 900 miles in 4 days last week going to belgium, I couldnt of done it without my muffs And yes i put them on my sports bike, not the look but does the job 
Big hand guards will stop the wind directly beating against your hand.
Also I found ski gloves from TK max worked a charm. Less crash protection though.
I used muffs on my Vespa last winter, which worked well but decided against fitting a pair on my ER6. I will try heated inner gloves this winter, but a bit unsure which ones to go for. I will have a look at the Carole Nash bike show next week. BTW, anybody going?
