Has anyone sourced a "nice" pair of road bike hand guards? I want to fit some to my Bandit for cold weather riding.

They do keep some of the chill off on a cold day, but don't completely block the wind. They help more in the rain, they don't stop the hands getting wet but they do delay it, and they stop the direct pummelling from the rain.
You can get an LED strip that fits down the spine too, which may or may not help with conspicuiousness...nes.

Had a look at them. Would like to find something a bit bigger if I could.

...two liter plastic milk bottles work...cover your whole mitt...and they are very, very cheap...
If your not worried about looks put some muffs on. Unbeatable weather protection & warmth.
Like so

Those ones do look a bit dainty, but they're actually the same height as the original XB12X ones.
There's plenty of choices around... http://www.twistedthrottle.com/barkb...7-8-handlebars
Just make sure you can get space for the mounts on your bars.

I hate winter glubs. Even if I can find a pair to fit, (and I rarely can) the fucking liners always pull inside out when you take the bastard things off. Then you spend 20min poking all the fingers back in so you can get them on again.
I've got a pair of $400 Alpinestar winter glubs going cheap here if anyone's interested.

Yeah. I've got decent gloves. they aren't full winter gloves though and I'm not a fan of them anyway as I find them bulky and restrictive. I have hot grips and do have some chill out glove liners but then again i find them too restrictive once I have my gloves on. I could get some bigger gloves to go over them but then a pair of decent gloves to go over them would cost about $100+. Getting up to the price of a set of handguards. There are handguards on ebay, but I don't want to gamble on getting them and them being wrong.
