    Hi guys.
    Just got back from touring Normandy in France only problem was severe rain going to Portsmouth a little bit of rain in France and more on the way home off the ferry. Question I want to fit some hand guards for extra rain protection for my hands have any of you guys fitted any and if so could you recommend me some. I have looked every where and I can not see any to buy specific to the sprint 1050 any suggestions ?.
    Cheers Lewie.

    I had a Tiger 1050 and a GS both with hand guards and tbh they seemed to do nothing to keep the rain off if it's persistent or heavy. They do seem to help keep a little wind off when it gets chilly but rain seems to get through whatever you do.

    Good for protecting the levers if the bike falls over though :smile:

    Over mitts or handle bar Muffs for serious touring.
    I toured Wales during April on a Kwak GT550 4 every year back in the 90's, Muffs may look frumpy and old fashioned but they do a fantastic job.

    These look better than most...
