Cold thumbs...

silk inner gloves?

This. What a difference. Superb they are.

Heated gloves will definitely fix it, but you could fit some Givi hand guard extensions which will give you enough height protection to allow you to pivot the whole guard downwards to give a bit lower down protection from the wind blast.

Exactly what I did.

Now this, is a joke post.

Why's that then?

I just rode to Italy, through some bits with snow lining the road. I used inner gloves but they fatigued my hands from having to flex to grip the bars, ended up either moving my hands so the tips were in contact, while using cruise control, or wrapping my fingers around and occasionally riding along holding my thumb to the heated grips using my fingers. Neither made riding any easier, but did work in that I don't have that usual nerve damage feeling I get after long, cold rides. It was just enough respite to make it bearable.

If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand.

It's evolution that's the problem!, you're suffering from having your opposible thumbs dangling down in the windy bit.

I can't claim to have ventured north of the arctic circle or even near but I have 'stepped back along the evolutionary route' and rested my thumbs above the grips, next to my other fingers - give it a try...

Cold thumbs

I have same problem with cold hands now that I am on the downward slope of life. My GSA 014 has the crap heated grips and my attempt to address the cold pinkies problem was to buy second hand 07 hand guards and extend them with plastic sheet from a A4 size divider found in a block of file papers.

Now it is not pretty but is effective for my needs which over ride the former. Plastic held with black silicon and small plastic rivets found in any car parts shop and cut off the sticky out bits.

Pictures reveal all.
