Thanks for the reply and pic. In fact I already have those fitted (sorry, should have made that clear) and the weather protection is still poor (I'm comparing them to the simple plastic shields on my 600E which do a far better job of keeping the wind and rain off, although they obviously are no use in a fall). I was wondering if something with better coverage was available. The OE extensions seem to cover the outer edge of the grip, but the is nothing stopping the wind and rain hitting most of the hand. I took them off for a week or so, and it made no difference whatsoever to how cold and wet my hands got. The TT extensions on the GS looked ugly, like a mini version of 5 litre oil containers, but I had pretty much dry hands whatever the weather.
