Most ATV or snowmachine places can get those. They fit over the controls like a big oven mitt. http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Arctic-Accessories-HANDLEBAR-0436-773/dp/B0012UPT9Y/ref=pd_sbs_sg_njs_2

Pretty interesting. If you end up getting some let us know how you like them. The only problem is that they are customized per bike, so if you ride multiple bikes you need to buy multiple pairs.

I have a pair that I got from Performance a couple of years ago. They work great. When used with my grip heaters, your hands will almost cook, if it is above 10 degrees.

Anything called "hippo hands" I think I'm going to pass on. LMAO. Good name for them though. There was a thinker!

I bought some at walmart for an ATV and used then on my cruiser, just had to cut a hole for my mirrors.... im glad i had them, just the wind deflection was worth the $11.99 i paid for them
