Autokicker handlebar muffs

[dimmers]

I was hoping my recent purchase of some barkbuster hand guards would see me through the cold weather this year, but my hands have been in absolute agony recently with temps of -5 when i leave for work, so i decided to get some muffs!

i think it was due to a thread on another website where someone posted that these were quite good, and they fitted over his handguards, so i was sold.

think the guy who posted the thread is on here as well... username 'throttled', so thanks for that.

i'll let you know how well they work.

if they fail, it will be heated grips next, then failing that, working from home!!!

Google 'autokicker muffs' if you're interested in which ones i bought.

I am using silk under gloves with Hein Gericke pathan evo gloves and handlebar muffs. At the end of my 12.5 mile journey up to London my fingertips are still numb and very painful...

The rest of me is fine.

i use the exact same gloves, hein gericke pathan (lobster style), and use inners as well...

the muffs this morning i think made it worse! now that's probably because i couldn't completely seal them up due to the barkbuster hand guards, and it felt like they were sucking in the cold air.

bl00dy hell, i reckon i'm just going to splash out on some heated gear now, fed up of the pain in my hands on these cold mornings. If i can get the hands nice and warm then riding all year round would be absolutely fine.

(anyone want these muffs? used only once, but happy to sell them for cheaper than what i paid as obviously they aren't 'new' anymore, PM me if interested, otherwise they'll be going on flea bay)

and i have the exact same journey distance as you! you don't ride a cb600f as well do you?

No a YBR 125. It's a tool for making the journey to work more affordable and at about £1.60 for a return journey it certainly achieves that...

Your welcome. I have made a small modification to mine to keep them more open and in place. I cut a small hole so the bar end weight could go on the outside. On the throttle side I used some large washers as spacers so the muff did not rest on the throttle, which means it still springs back when I let go.

cheers for the update, i'm tempted to modify them, but at the same time i might just sell them on ebay... Winter's over now anyway??
