Sublo Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hey all. Indeed I have searched, searched and searched some more both here and at other Viffer sites. Can't find anyone, photos, or details of someone with Hand Guards on a 6th gen. It's damned cold in NYC now (low 30's). My winter gloves are fine but after 10 - 15 minutes, my fingertips are chilly still. Yes, I'm going the heated grip route but I'd like hand guards as well. I know, I know.... they're butt ugly. I'll take them off when no longer needed in the Spring. I've been perusing all the usual suspect supplier Web sites and there is nothing VFR/Interceptor-specific. So, I'm thinking of trying these: http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_cata...tId=&mmyId= and "making" them fit or perhaps trying some other make-specific guards and modifying them for our bikes. Anyone have any ideas, pointers, suggestions? Thanks. -Freddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer keelyrm Posted November 18, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2008 Those are nice. I am wicked cheap and would steal the ones off my klr, which would make it very ugly. Maybe old used on/off road bike ones if you are cheap like me. Good luck let us know!

Member Contributer Burns Posted November 18, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2008 see if you can find a set someone's taken off a Buell CityX or maybe some from Moose racing.. those seem awfully expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Vecky5 Posted November 19, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 19, 2008 ATV Handlebar Mitts Cheap, effective, easy to remove and install. :cool: IIRC, those are called Hippo Hands. They should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublo Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yes... Hippo Hands and the like will do the trick but for me personally, they're simply too butt ugly. I'd look like a Chinese food delivery person unfortunately. Not willing to do that. I think I'm going to hack a set and see how it goes =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Burns Posted November 19, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 19, 2008 I've used Hippo Hands on snow machines, but just can't quite bring myself to pu them on a scoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
