Cold fingers

to be pedantic, you would ride with no gloves ??     .. I mean I tighten my jacket cuff straps and feed them into my gloves and then pull the glove straps !! can't see how you would keep jacket cuffs engaged with muffs. I'm not being deliberately dim I just never looked at muffs before !!

Still wear gloves. They'll protect your hands in a spill.

No matter what other things you use, heated grips are worth having.

I'm not saying ride without gloves 
I'm saying you'd get away with a thinner pair ..

I have some Oxford muffs. On the move the wind pushes them against the clutch and brake levers. I would only use them when I have handguards fitted. I used them on my "Vee" like that and with heated grips inside they were toasty warm. Heated grips are good for warm palms but the fingers get nothing when exposed to the air stream. I have mostly rid myself of the problem by staying off bikes when it gets down below 10 degrees. I have a heated jacket and gloves and the SV has heated grips, but I am old and my default chilly ride is "car".

I'm looking at all the options but just now "Heated Gloves" and I got to looking at how to wire them to the battery. Everything I have seen so far talks about a socket out of the left hand side of the seat (not unlike the one I have for the battery conditioner)..  Then the general description is of wires up through your jacket and down the inside of your sleeves.. This seems an enormous faff to me, do you do the threading through each time?  do you sew the wires in place? (what if you use more than one jacket) Can someone tell me just how they use heated gloves .. I'm guessing it is considered dangerous to have a socket in the cockpit and plug the gloves into that !!

It is not that much of a faff at all. I have heated socks, I have a female jack plug that exits to the front of the seat and the male jack out of my waist band. I just feed the wires when I put my trollies on. The gloves will no doubt have a jack at each wrist and one to connect to the bike.

Thanks TLPower, jackets are different to pants though, I presume you do not take your pants off every time you stop for cake and coffee!!  (or maybe you do  )  I envisage 4/5 stops when I have to thread myself up!! or as I said maybe chose one jacket and do a bit of sewing in ??  I am thinking muffs, heated grips and summer gloves is a good solution. But, they are ugly !!  Call me indecisive !!

Relocate the wheel at the front and the one at the rear to Lanzarote. You know it makes sense. No muffs, no wires.

I know Rusty Nuts,,, !!!  I get on my own tits as well !!

You can get heated gloves with individual battery packs that fit into a pocket in each glove. I have no idea how long each battery would last though.
Or, if you get 'ordinary' heated gloves that wire into the bike and have more than one jacket you wear you could get a spare lead for each jacket and 'fix' it into each jacket?

thanks for all contributions!!  I think I'm settling on high quality heated gloves and Bark busters.. Just cannot go with muffs     

[Brockett]

My heated inner gloves plug into a socket in each sleeve of the Keis Jacket. The lead from the  jacket plugs into the battery charge lead. The inner gloves really are a faff to put on. I might try "Gerbing heated gloves" although the downside to that is that the Gerbing plugs don't fit the connections on the Keis jacket.

@ Brocket, would these do the job?
