Muffs!!

[pieter.oneill]

Thats right big furry muffs!! For handlebars obviously....what else.
Anyway my heated gloves which i do make fair use off out of winter have knackered after only two years, so instead i thought of getting handke bar muffs but need some advice if anyone is a user.
My r1100gs has hand guards an the usual set up ive seen a couple but some involve taking mirrors off and bar ends but what im really trying to find is something that can be strapped on and off with relative ease as some days are not to bad an i have just my gloves on, others i might go for a big ride.
Anyway thought id ask the hive minds as this forum always is most useful. Cheers

the Tucano Urbano R319 are the gold standard. Not made for some time. I had a set on my R1150GS and still have them today over 20 years since purchase. I used them when commuting on the GS, a Tracer and R1200RS. Retired now so do not use them as I choose not to ride in the cold & wet very often. Not selling though. Check Ebay or put a wanted post on here.

Givi used to make some heated ones that were good. Seem to have non heated ones now and under £60

These Wunderlich ones look similar to R319 but pricey like most stuff from the brand

Yeah i heard of those a while back, i think that everone holds onto them haha. I tend not to go out it its awful weather but if its a bit cold eith the tight gear its no issue, but the widchill can get through the best of gloves sometimes. Great links ill check out both of those in detail

Tucano Cortina muffs are made for bikes with hand guards. They're a little fiddly to get on, so best left for the winter season. They do work, and the heated grips nicely heat the whole space, but the waterproof gator and elasticated drawstring didn't last long on mine.

Downsides - difficult to get dry after washing the bike. They also restrict movement a little and take up some room in the throttle grip particularly. Not terrible, but if you have large hands you may find you're resting against plastic.
