Have you tried going slower. Joking don't use them so can't help. And now you have told us i won't be getting any.

Me neither!
Decent gloves and heated grips work for me

 

And there was me thinking this thread was going to be about something else......

 

brake and clutch lever guards?

Possibly the wrong internal size but it's just about the idea!
7/8ths is probably the correct size you need.

 

Had the same problems, only yesterday I made these to keep them off the levers.
I'm using the Givi muffs which have a strap between them. If I put the strap behind the mirrors it has the effect of pulling upwards on the top of the muffs which stop any downward pressure. The DIY plywood lever guards keep them off the levers

 

I've just gone down the heated gloves route. They're Chinese jobbies for £35, powered by a 7.4 Li Ion battery in each gauntlet to give 4-4.5 hrs heat on the highest of 3 settings (1 & 2 are useless). We'll see how durable they are but I tried them the other day and they're great. I went out with normal gloves, cooled my fingers down to the pain threshold, then switched to the heated gloves. 5 mins and fingers were useable again, even in a 60mph wind blast.

 

They were a birthday present, I'll see if I can find them on Amazon.

Don't know if they were from this seller but these are identical. Theyre just generic heated gloves, not bike specific so no armoured knuckles or palm protection etc. Theyre sold as waterproof but I would say showerproof. They have a sort of rubberised palm so good grip. I've heard that heated gloves can fail prematurely, I guess they have a hard life with motorcycle use but for the cost, if they last me while next Summer Theyll do.

PS.....This ipad pad is doin my feckin NUT in!!....took me 4 attempts to type this....

 

Never had muffs until this year. Tried heated inner gloves. Didn't like them, too many layers. The muffs look crap but I can wear summer gloves in 3°C and have to turn the heated grips off! That is well worth it IMO

 

I've got the Keiss heated vest like @littleade and it makes a hell of a difference when its below 2 degrees. Bought the heated gloves to go with it, which worked ok and kept your whole hand mildly warm, but I didn't like the wire up each sleeve to connect it to the vest.

 

Pah....amateur
I would make a cage out of angle iron with Perspex windows so that I can see the switch gear

 

i am thinking of making a top box out of some chipboard and some exhaust hangers and fork brace out of some bits of old plywood i got knocking about. sorry but bits of a old tree will be not going near my bike any time soon.
