Thanks Honda for the factory handwarmers.
 

I wasn't prepared for cold riding with my dianese gloves, that are perforated between the fingers, not to mention thin and uninsulated.

But if you lean over the tank, you can easily get your hand inside the front fairing at each radiator. Alternate and repeat. i would recommend keeping your fingers against the backside of the plastic and not against the radiator though, not sure how hot that radiator is, but it's sharp and you don't want to damage it or your gloves.

Works great in a pinch. Next time I'll have heated grips installed.

Been doing that for a couple of months now on the way up to Temecula in the morning.

I've put 9000 miles on this bike in 7 months and yet I still manage to find something new everytime I'm isolated with it for long enough. Lovin' it!

My old CX500 had the best hand warmers...the Guzzi style valve covers sticking out just below the tank. Had NEP cruise control to allow better warming of right hand. Used them all the time while commuting in winter, especially at night.

I use the SH's side mounted handwarmers everytime the temps make it necessary (and when traffic allows).

Yeah, I've been in the habit of grabbing the left radiator hose at stoplights whenever it gets chilly. Since I work evenings and ride home, that's more often than you'd think here. I wish the right one was a bit more accessible but since I'm at the stoplight anyway I can just reach over.

I like to cook bacon and eggs on my rads on a cold morning in Florida, but not on the interstate cuz they blow off at any speeds over 70 mph:eek:

Are you doing the drywall up there at the new McDonalds?


Sorry, I just couldn't help pulling out an Office Space quote.

yep done that a couple of times:)

Side mounted rads are the shit!

Ridding in 45-50 degree fall weather with just moto-X gloves, I figured this method out quick.. Works great.

damn looks like im gonna be missing out on this one.

What's really cool is, in the summer, the inlet ducts blast a stream of cool air over your knees, forcing the hot radiator air to the outside. Try taking a glove off and feeling the difference. I used to stuff a rag in the inlets in the winter, to keep my legs warm.

As you're riding.. take you hands and drop them to the outside of the fairing where the Rads are (the holes you can see the rads through).. you'll find a great warm spot there, too. both sides zThe air exits the fairing there, and it's hot!.. just alternate hands. I do that when it gets down in the 20s (even gloves dont help that cold)
