HandGrips or HandBar covers?

[Olivastro]

Bye!
I just joined you, I've read many messages, but I don't think I've found anyone who has already asked or presented their experience to repair their hands from the winter cold. Has anyone experimented with an accessory that can be put on the scooter's grips to protect itself from the cold?
Make and model please! In Italy (and sorry for my "googlEnglish") TucanoUrbano replied that they have NO these accessories for our CE-04...
Givi? OJ? Other?

Thank you!

Hello

I have some of these hand guards which work well and are very stable on my bike: https://www.wunderlich.de/shop/de/b...en/wunderlich-handprotektoren-m42006-002.html

I also use Gerbing heated gloves like these: gerbing-xrl-heated-motorcycle-glove as well as having the BMW factory-fitted heated grips. The gloves will run off the CE 04 accessory socket but, for convenience, I prefer to use batteries in the gloves.

I like having warm hands when I ride!

Eh... I knew that the translation betrays. What I'm looking for are not "handguards" like the one you rightly indicate, but "containers" for hands to completely cover the grips of the bike
Tks!

I think you may be looking for what are often called "handlebar muffs." Here's the link to them at Wunderlich's German site:

These are pretty expensive (but then so is your CE-04), but at least Wunderlich states that these fit the CE-04 (among many other BMW models).

I know that other companies make similar products, such as this listing at Givi's Italian site:

MOTORCYCLE AND SCOOTER ACCESSORIES TM421

Universal motorcycle muffs with hand-guardsMaterials: 1200D polyester, anti-UV compliant with ISO 4892-2 regulation - PE padding. Materials compliant with REAC

Good luck in your search.

tks!
I had asked Gigi and they generally replied that their model is universal. However, they recommend the high windscreen more, which also has shelter for the hands that move the air. Do any of you use tall windshields? (Givi's is 2.4 ft!).

Hello, I have a tall windscreen on my bike. I opted for the Puig model. It helps with aerodynamics and I get better range since I installed it. It does move the wind off my chest. There has been an increase in wind noise on the helmet. I am currently waiting for a spoiler to mount on the top of my windscreen to solve this problem. There may be fitting problems for mirrors and hand guards. I have solved the mirror issues. Waiting for the hand guards to arrive to tackle that one.

The model I purchased has a "tall" windscreen, a native BMW accessory. But I'm 6.23ft tall. and when I'm on the highway... I feel the wind on my chest and on my helmet!
Perhaps the Givi model would be useful because it is much taller and also wider, it also protects the hands. But I wonder if this protection would not then affect performance...

If anyone has already experimented with different wind screens... thank you if you'd like to share the experience. (I'm interested in heated gloves for hands)
