Or you could just get some of these:Handle bar chaps. Has anyone tried these yet. I feel like I could ride for a long time in the cold, but my hands get cold, so I can only go about 35 miles at a clip. Then I have to stop and warm my hands.

Interesting idea, on/off the bike in seconds. But I wonder if there would be a problem like someone mentioned. The windblast at hwy speeds pushing on the brake & Clutch levers. If there is enough wind and enough area on the chaps, I guess it could act like a sail and push back....hmmmmmHandle bar chaps. Has anyone tried these yet.

It was a problem for me. I'm not sure if the scootwork models have some way of dealing with this issue. For mine, I had to improvise little bit, to secure the room for the levers.Interesting idea, on/off the bike in seconds. But I wonder if there would be a problem like someone mentioned.

Let us know if you try them, winter is coming.
Yep. I would give it a try too. In case it is in the way of the levers, it can be fixed by some kine of add-ons. You will like it, I think. so warm.. and total protection on your hands and controls...I talked to Scootworks, and they tell me they have no reports of the wind pushing the chaps back into the clutch/brake handle.

Please give us the review of the product...
Here are some that run off batteries. Don't know how good they are, but they aren't that expensive.I have good Joe Rocket gloves, fingers still cold. If they are cold now, next few months will be worse.
I thought about the heated grips, but just changed my grips not that long ago, didn't want to revisit the task.
I am a little worried about heated gloves, and being wired to the motorcycle. I just don't feel like it will be a good combo to have to remember to unplug before I dismount.

Last year I tried rubber mechanic gloves under the Joe Rockets. It helped but stll froze.

I just ordered these to go under my leather gloves, but it looks like my bike will be put away before they arrive, so I won't be able to tell you how well they work out. I'm hoping for something that'll end up thinner than a full on winter glove.I have good Joe Rocket gloves, fingers still cold. If they are cold now, next few months will be worse.

NP. Just don't blame me if they short out and you ride down the road looking like you are getting hit by a tazer.:wink:Thanks Ruger, there's a Sports Athority close to were I work. I will stop in and check those out. Can't beat that price, but they do look thick. I tried snow mobile gloves, but I didn't feel like I had control of the hand controls.
