    Wrong, just plain wrong.

    But, in answer to your question - there's a thread in the chatter pr bike tech bits on this very subject with some suppliers in there IIRC......

    When you read the posts in those links you may notice it is mentioned how difficult it is to get some to fit over the handguards. I have just noticed Touratech have some out which they claim can go over any hanguards, but seem bloody expensive to me at £130

    Re: muffs

    I've recently bought some Oxford ones and they go over the hand guards perfectly well. As my bike's currently in bits in the kitchen, I haven't actually ridden with them on, but they feel a bit odd, but that could just be that I'm not used to them.

    Raven with the Oxford muffs you actually have to cut hole in them for the mirror to go through, but they explain how to do this and provide the necessary parts to keep it waterproof and tight fitting.

    lol

    I tried muffs a while ago but found then pretty usless and still suffered cold hands hence now using heated grips.

    However I didn't have the "Hairy Muffs" as mentioned on ebay
