Handlebar Wind Deflectors

[Tonyvdb]

Has anyone found and used a Handgrip Wind Deflector on the Voyager? Took the bike in to work today but it was really too cold on the fingers. It was 30F out this morning but the day warmed up really nice to 68F.
Any thoughts on what might work?

It's no fun having cold fingers !

Nope, and those temps are normal for spring here. Cold in the morning nice and warm in the afternoon.
I thought about hand warmers but 15min of my trip is on a freeway so I don't know how well they would work at 50mph

I don't have anything on the Voyager, but I did use the "mirror mount" deflectors on my previous Vulcan, and loved them. I also gave a set to a friend who rides a Honda Shadow, and he swears by them. I rely on heated grips at present, but have considered installing deflectors (if they fit). They also do a decent job of keeping your hands dry in the rain.

Heated grips or gloves are the way to go...

I had heated grips on my first XII and while they kept my palms warm, the wind cooled (made cold) the backs of my fingers and hands. Heated gloves I have now are toasty, but the wires make them stiff and somewhat uncomfortable, plus the gloves need to be snug against the skin to feel the heat. Those 4X4 mitts look like the ticket, especially at only $25, a lot less than heated grips or heated gloves!

I have lexan wind deflectors, I think they were from Baker air wings. They didn't seem to help that much. Then I got heated grips by Oxford with an adjustable thermostat, not just an on/of high/low toggle. I love these things, best accessory I've ever had on a bike.

Heated grips make a whole world of difference on my XII. We get bipolar temperatures here in New Mexico with sometimes as much as a 50 degree temperature spread between very early morning to afternoon. It is not unusual during late Winter or early Spring to leave in 35 Deg F temps then return in 75 Deg F temps. I use insulated gloves and the grips keep my palms and inner side of my fingers warm, which truly helps.
It certainly beats frozen fingers like I had even with insulated gloves on.

I have snowmobile gloves I can ride down to 22. But as I get older I get wiser and wait until it gets in the 30's.

When I was working in Alamogordo, NM, one morning riding on the way to work I encountered frozen dew on the road. That was a little exciting heading down White Sands Boulevard at 45 and 55 MPH in traffic.

At elevations here in NM, particularly the 4,300 feet I'm at, I'm reluctant to head out when colder than 30 Deg F. Problem is road may be clear, but all it takes is a patch of water that became ice to have a wreck. I remember one November evening coming back on a 3 hour trek home from Seminole, TX. They maintain better care of the roads, and dew already started forming and freezing when night approached.

That was a spooky ride home. I was down to 50 and 45 mph in places where the posted speed was 65, in some places 75, and avoiding the lower tire tracked spots. I was so glad when I crossed the border into New Mexico by Hobbs. NM roads aren't as well maintained and rough.
I'd never think that bad roads were a comfort.
