Does anyone out there know of a company that makes hand guards or hand shields for tri glide to protect your hands from the cold.

Try contacting this company and ask if one of their models will fit:

I tried something a few days ago that actually worked quite well. I bought some rain gloves. I tried them over my winter riding gloves that always got too cold to ride but the rain gloves actually kept the wind off well enough to not get cold. A little bulky but since it worked I'll be doing it every time from now on. I figured if the gloves could keep my leather gloves dry, they should keep the wind off as well which is what gets you cold and it worked.

I bought a set of black/opaque hand guards from Memphis Shades because my bars put my hands above the faring. They do cut back on the wind that hits your hands (not all) and keep most of the rain off your hands. So far I am happy with them. They are easy to take off if you want to remove them for summer riding. I just leave them on year round.

Thanks for the reply Chuck. I had forgotten that I also had to modify the one on the clutch side. I grabbed a small grinder and took off about 3/16" on corner of the mounting bracket to clear the reservoir. It took about 2 minutes and works great. Sorry that I forgot that in my first post.

I used gloves for myself from the ski bum Coupons.

The gloves are very warm and they are best to wear in winters. I bought from there at a pretty cheap price because of their discounted coupons.

I must be old .... I bought electric gear years ago and the problem is gone ...

^^^^ +1 and heated grips so inside and outside stay toasty.

Me too. I ride all winter so the cost is well worth it. If you only ride once or twice in cold temps, it may not be cost affective.

If I didn't have this set up, I would go with the Hippo Hands

I don't think rubber gloves over leather gloves will keep your hands warm for very long

Same here. Heated gloves and jacket.

I have found that rain gloves over leather gloves will get you down a few more degrees. I was very surprised when I gave a try. They help keep the wind off and it's the wind that gets you from around 40º and down.

You are right about rain gloves over leather gloves to will keep your hands warm -- to a certain extent. I'm referring to temps in the low 30's and lower for 3 to 5 hours. Only heated gloves work in those environments.

For me, even heated gloves leave a lot to be desired. No heated glove will warm the fingerprint area of the finger. I have tried many brands. They all wire the fingers around the sides of the fingers not top to bottom. Even with heated grips my fingers get cold. I have to scrunch my fingers up so that they contact the grips.

According to the mfg's, only a few riders complain about this design. So I have to live with it.

COLD HANDS Think about snow mobile glows.

I don't no where you can find best one but I'll like to suggest you OnBuy Coupons Codes may here you can find the best quality products.

Actually the easiest and best way to solve the "cold hand" issue when riding all winter is to do what I did 12 years ago......move to Florida!

I just got cheap Ebay ones, like $25 a pair. They work
