The more I read about the cold, the more I want to buy some muffs as they appear to be the best solution and should go nicely with my heated grips… But the issue of wind pressing the levers worries me. Surely there is a brand out there that has solved this?

Oxford muffs, make a hole in the side of the muffs and put a big washer on the outside of the muffs and connect viaallen bolt that go’s into your bar end, and this is not a problem…

I got heated grips and muffs and riding in thin summer gloves

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

Keep up (wise) old boy!

Hope all your students are passing!

Sorry G, you know I never read your boring posts :P:)

Most of em get thru

I’ve got a 10 year old bike, and image has gone all the way out the window with heated R&G grips + muffs!

But i dont care - i see guys on lovely bikes and feel sad for a second, but when the stop at the lights and start slapping and shaking there near dead hands in order to get some life back - I just smile and insert my winter leather sheathes into the that warm, toasty and inviting muff… Mmmmm… mMMMM… YEAHHHH!!!

It’s funny how this thread progressed to talking about muffs and heated grips when the thread title reads: " without resorting to heated grips/muffs? "

lol Jetstream!

So how went the dating? Any hot tips?

Hmmm, I wouldn’t describe myself as Casanova (more Rudolph Valentino actually ) but I did end up in bed with one of them (and she was fit ) so I must have been doing something right! :DYeah Garret gonna ditch the cornflakes for the porage/porridge mate - the jocks must be onto something seeing as it’s always brass monkeys up there. :)Yeah Adz, I’ve gotta get my fingers into some lovely warm muffs mate, I’d like to try out a few different types and sizes before I make a final choice though . . . ;)

I had heated grips on the Hornet and they were fantastic - even got me down to Boxhill for rides out in December and January!! However, I don’t have heated grips on the Triumph because of the battery and despite wearing winter gloves and inner gloves have still been freezing, so, started researching and found this site:

http://www.heated-motorcycle-clothing.co.uk/

So am thinking of investing in a pair of their battery operated heated inner gloves. Not sure if anyone else has used this, but could be well worth a shot?

thanks a lot for pointing that out your very helpful

Anyone is welcome to dip a finger or two into my muff, but it feels better with a whole fist in there… :w00t:

Right went into Infinity Motorcycles in Gt. Portland Street today and got shown some Tucano Urbano muffs… I specifically asked the sales guy there about the issue of wind pressing on levers and he was adamant that these would not because (he starts to show me the design) they have a plastic bit at the front that keeps it in place…

Not sure I believe him 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?

What day? I’ll be there on Sat

I’m going on Thursday…
