GS Handguards on an ST?

[CraigT]

I fitted these on my RS and the fit grom the GS was perfect, other than the gaurds striking the fairing a little at full lock, but has anyone fitted them to an ST?

 

It's not that i like the looks of them (getting close to a touchy subject here on STs! ), but they are without a doubt the best protection I've ever experienced for cold and rain.

 

Anyone?

If you want a set cheap to experiment with, PM me. They came off my GS when near new.

Pat, I did consider these, there is a similar product in the UK too and in common use by couriers, but today for instance in Glasgow, was like a mid summers afternoon, temperatures in the high teens with a clear blue sky and pleasent air temp. The ST has zero storage capacity to stow the muffs on such days. Last Thursday I left home around 6AM, when my wife put out some shirts of mine to dry in the back garden. (on a rope that is, not literally the garden) and within an hour they were frozen solid! . Like me. After reading a thread here today, I've ordered a Gerbings heated jacket liner and the plastic hand guards are a relatively neat compromise for these fresh mornings and my once weekly 200mile commute.

 

I can see the hippo hands being better for the serious winter riders, but I'll chicken out when the salt goes down.
