I'm resurrecting an old thread here - to get some advice.
In December, I'm taking a long ride from here in deep south Texas to Miami, Florida. However, on the way back, I'll be visiting an old friend in the mountains of north Georgia, then on to a nephew's house in Nashville via the North Carolina mountains.
In other words, I will be warm for most of the trip, but I'll have a couple of days when temps will be nippy. With the good weather protection of the NT, plus a +6 Cee Bailey wind screen, and some warm gear, I'll be fine - - except for my hands. They're right out there in the wind.
No need to fit heated grips - I'll never need them again. I have lined GoreTex gloves with liners, but from past experience, I know my hands will be cold, even if the rest of me is okay. I think some sort of wind deflector is what I need, but I also want something I can remove after the trip. I have Helibar risers installed, and they are 2 1/2 inches up and 3 1/2 inches back. In other words, the Honda deflectors will not work.
I saw in an earlier post that someone had installed Acerbis dirt bike deflectors, but there were few comments on how well they worked. As I said above, I will remove them after the trip. Its warm here - most of the time I want wind on my hands. (The average daily high right now in late October is 87.)
Any ideas out there, folks?
