i know some folks here have considered some kinda hand guard for riding in cold and rain...

i have seen many that hook to the handle bars up by the lever housings and then to the bar end... these styles are very nice but usually take up more room than we have to spare...

i have also seen some that hook to the handle bars up by the lever housings only... these also take up more room than we have to spare...

i was wondering about a simple lever guard that mounts to the levers themselves instead of the handlebars...

something with just enough room for the fingers to get on the levers and just enough mass to deflect the cold wind and rain away the fingers...

something easily packable in a tank bag that installs on the levers in 30 seconds when you are pulled over putting on the rain gear...

your thoughts...

silly geezers... im talking commerce here...

not just k bikes... sport biker 100 miles from the barn with zero protection pulls off to slide on a couple trash bags... and slides on a couple lever guards to help keep the wind and rain off his fingers...

your thoughts...
