Barkbuster Blizzard Hand Guards

I would like to have something other than fixed mount hand guards for some added warmth on cold days. Has anyone tried these on the CB1100?

Redbirds, I haven't tried them, but I'd be tempted when I venture south again in the cooler weather.

I did remember seeing a review of them and I've managed to find it here.

I run a similar set made by Kolpin on my ST 1300 and find them indespensable when it gets below freezing. They wouldn't work on the CB however due to the mirror stems. They wouldn't work on my scooter either. I don't see an opening for the mirror stems on these units so not sure how they would go on. If you try them and they work please let me know.

Thanks for the replies and the link Cormanus. Think I will give them a try but will wait for fall and the return of colder temps before I write about their effectiveness. It's spring here now and was 85F yesterday. Went for a ride this morning with just a T-shirt under my riding jacket.

Those combined with heated grips would be da bomb. Looks they would have to be "modified" to fit. Hippo hands would be an alternative.

It is the wrong season but I use First Gear heated gloves. They are pricey but if you are doing some colder weather riding these worked better than heated grips/handle bars. I have used them to 19 degrees F for my 23 mile commute to work, the elements are placed just where the wind hits your hands so even my thumbs were warm!
