Modern Vespa

Has anyone found any hand shields for the 250 (and 400) specifically? It looks as if it would be much easier to mount them on the 500 as the handlebars are accessible.

dirt bike have been using them for years. try googling aftermarket acc. for enduro/motocross/crosscountry/desert motorcycles

Just to clarify, I'm not having any problem in finding sources for them, just in trying to find some that can be fitted to the 250 somehow. There's a serious lack of mounting real estate around the grip area on the 250. I'm hoping that someone here may have already figured out how to do so.

Use muffs instead. Keeps your gloves dry as well as un-windswept.

I'm guessing that name is specifically English as when I googled it I get pages and pages of UK websites.

I don't know any other name for them. Willing to be educated!

whta jimc is refering to is the same thing that people use on snowmobiles, these are handle bar mitts that you put your hand into. they sanp on or velco on .

And damn useful too. Hands warm and dry in winter, hands cool and dry in summer even with the odd thunderstorm. No more soggy gloves.

Sorry, didn't mean to mislead you... I do know what they are, I remember seeing them on Police bikes back in Toronto. I was just curious what they might be called here in North America as "muffs" seemed to bring up only UK sites.

Those are OTT for bikes mark you...

price is good also

There is a post in this forum from someone who used hand guards from an SV650 suzuki of some sort...virtually bolted straight on.

Trevor,

Yes, I know of that thread, but it is for the 500 which has access to the bars, whereas the 250/400 models do not. There is simple nowhere to mount that type of hand guard the the 250/400, hence my post.
