    Hit the electric buzz?

    I have fucking awesome pants, just got new gloves, and have an ok jacket for the cold riding. But still even now, before winter has even come, my finger tips are freezing as fuck. I've seen the electric clothing around on ebay, but its quite expensive, I was wondering if anyone has used any of this and knows anywhere to purchase it?

    Or if someone can give me any ideas to eliminate the cold fingers problem....

    Windproof inner gloves like these are good

    Fairly easy from what i've seen, the hardest bit normally is getting the old ones off ...

    These are not trivial to install on the GT250R. Theres quite a bit of cutting plastic on the throttle grip. You can probably sand it off - I used an angle grinder and a belt sander to machine it off - that was a year ago and they are all good. The glue they give you isn't that flash.

    I have done a pair if you get stuck.

    heated grips are the bees knees, you may also look into some rain-off gloves,they are seriously waterproof,goes a long way to keeping warm.

    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    latex or vinyl gloves, keeps my hands warm for short rides, like say, my 5am starts which see me riding to work at 4.30am.
    Fear is never a reason to quit. It's only an excuse.
