hand warming advice needed
I can ride in just about any temp range for our geographical area. But, unfortunately I have problems with my hands getting cold when it's around 35 degrees F or lower. I think I have problems with my hands due to old injuries, which makes it more uncomfortable for me, when most may be able to tolerate it with good gloves.
i use Olympia heavy riding gloves and today I added a pair of fleece gloves under them, but my fingertips still felt like they were going to fall off by the time I got to work.
I dont want to add any electrical accessories to my bike, so that narrows my options. Does anyone know of good handguards that will mount easily on the hurricane? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Somebody here uses those Hippo Hands. They look like they'd work really well. I have UA ColdGear glove liners that seem to work pretty good, but I also have a heated jacket which keeps your hands a lot warmer.
I actually haven't tried JUST the glove liners riding yet, but they work GREAT in regular sub-zero temps.

Seems like my body is fine. Good jacket and protection there. Only the tips of my fingers start killing me from the wind at 55-65 mph at 35 degrees or cooler. Im leaning toward heated grips if the charging system will handle it. I will try hand warmers as a temporary fix.
@35 or cooler you will still feel some coldness tho, have to remember @65 35 degrees will feel ALOT colder

The bike patrols (regular bicycle) round here have some sort of wind screen over their handgrips to protect from winds. Looks a little funky, like attached gauntlets on the grip. But these guys are riding bikes out in the Philly cold for 8 hours at a time. So something is working
When I saw it I wondered if anyone thought of doing the same on motorcycle grips
