Are hand guards just too naff?

[Breezin]

Please excuse the level of triviality of this topic, which has been encouraged by the 'where to wash my bike' thread.

 

My question: are hand guards on a road motorbike too naff? (I know they are naff, but it's a question of degree.)

 

I am too old to be taking this seriously, and to be concerned with naffness in general, but I can't help it. I can see the huge practical benefits, but for me they are in with those  hand muff thingeys.

 

An added complication: the hand guards I'm looking at have integrated dlr lights. Again, a big plus, as I was thinking of getting bullet dlrs anyway, but maybe another massive step toward ultimate naffness?

Maybe some mits would suffice.
