I thinking of rigging up cruise control for winter riding so I don't need to stop to warm up my right hand, any ideas? I want one for slow speeds aswell. I local guy I seen on trail had rig up a twist throttle over to the left handle bar so he could alternate hands while crusing down a frozen lake.

 

Surely you have a thumb warmer? A hand warmer? Hand guards to keep the wind off?

I would get that stuff B4 I made a cruise control. I don't use anything but gloves. I generally don't ride very fast in the cold. I take extra pairs of gloves in case they get wet. I am considering hand guards to break the wind before I do anything else. I just haven't been that cold.

 

wool lined leather gloves... thats all i got to say about that..

 

If you go yo a Army surplus stor at times you can get a cheap pair of Actrctic snow mobile gloves that are VERY warm.

 

Cruise Control in the snow??? Asking for the trip of a lifetime if the thing freezes is all I got to say,
However a thumbwarmer and guards is all that is needed in addition to the gloves you should be wearing anyhow, I wear foxes year round and the guard have never let me down and the thrumb warmer just enhances the fact of no wind like NYROC said.

 

I drive very long hours in the winter, and hand warmers and gloves that are rated at -80 and winshields are all standard equipment, however some days/nights I'm out in -45 deg cel and lower in a freezing rain storm then add the windchill. The guy that had this on his bike had it set up in a way if the darn thing frozen up he could pull a lever and it would disable the cruise control.

 

kawi650, your a *****.

 

<< however some days/nights I'm out in -45 deg cel and lower in a freezing rain storm then add the windchill. >>



Thats -49 F before the winchill!!! Where in God's name are you riding, the south pole? I figure at temeratures like that the rubber of your tires would become brittle and your eyeballs would freeze solid.

 

yeh hes lieing

 

id like to see some1 start their engine in that weather
