recommendations for a wind guard for my handgrips

[Rich in Arizona]

Topic says it all. I live in Denver and we get some cooooold mornings. The cold isn't the bad part - it is the wind chill on the fingers. Figure if I had something that blocks the wind from the grips it would be very helpful. Already ordered heated glove liners. So anyways, what do you guys that have them use for blocking the wind and where did you get them from?

Inexpensive alternative to VStrom guards are these [less decals] from Cycra. Add some handlebar muffs (or ^^^^ hippohands) and you're good down into the 20's.

The Yamaha oem hand guards installed on the mirrors works great!Unbelievable well!I don't know if you can find them in USA?!

Surely you can find them in Canada.

These would be perfect to have on the bike during the colder weather, then remove for summer. And at $65 its not a bad deal at all.

The Yamaha lowered the price for an unknown reason..

Some months ago they sold these handguards for about $200-250!

Baker Air wings will deflect cold air, and bring in fresh air for the summer... I wouldn't be without them. For colder stuff, try Moose Racing hand guards, fold the inboard end over and they velcro strap on to the brake and clutch master cylinders. Remove the stitching and logo patch........

I was lucky enough to find two pairs of the original Vetter Hippo Hands and have a set on both the KLR and FJR for winter/cold weather ridinng. I got the idea form the late great Mr. John Ryan.
