cold fingers!!

Hi, can anyone solve the problem of cold finger tips?I have winter gloves and have even made a wind deflecter that fits on the fairing.Heated gloves or some sort of inner liner seem to be the answer but I have no idea where to go from here.Heated hand grips will help a little but not enough for the finger tips!!cheers GB

Try the dryrider thermal inner gloves like $15 or get so really good quality winter gloves i have the Alpinestars and my hands are sweaty riding to work at 6 in the morn...

Handlebar Muffs mate, but you are only likely to get them from the UK where it gets cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey

Heated grips will stop your fingertips from freezing. Trust me.

Other than that, you should get winter gloves that are fractionally too long in the fingers.

I've found pre-heating the gloves helps alot.

Thin cotton inner gloves help loads - I used them this morning at 4am (3 degrees) and it wasn't too bad. I got them at BOC Gas & Gear and they cost 89c a pair.

I have a pair of IXON winter gloves that rock, my hands sweat if i use them during the day

But handlebar muffs can be bought, $70 a pair, heated grips are $130 a pair

inner gloves like the others suggested are cheap as well

Nothing beats heated grips. The problem is it's so toasty, touching the clutch/brake lever feels terribly cold
