Hi Tim I run Oxford heated grips and over them I have a pair of Tucano muffs. These are fur lined and are excellent although I had to cut out one layer of fur!!!!! I only run with my thinnest gloves during the winter. They come half way up your ferearm and keep your hand very dry in the wet. They are quite big and to support the front I have cut down some KTM guards to make a bar around 50mm wide which stops the wind from moving the muffs or pressing them onto your levers. I have also installed an old pair of SRX handlebar weights as the muffs have a rubber bung that fits over the handlebar end. They costme abouit �60 buit are well worth it as personally I don't like huge great gloves and I've never had a pair that are totally waterproof.
The muffs themselves are very easy to take off as they velcro around your miror stalk and all of the switchgear.No pics, my apologies as the bike is still in the dealers!
