It seems all feedback on these are excellent.....hoping the Kimpex versions are just a good. The other bonus to thinner gloves would be less fatigue on the fingers.....yes, getting old, out of shape, etc.... Pretty well. They were the most reliable part of that sled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrizzlyGriff Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I found the new Doo muffs are restrictive when doing a sharp left hand turn with your body pulled up to the tank. Won’t let the wrist roll over the handlebar. Any one else dealt with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candubrain Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I ended up drilling a second hole in the plastic re-inforcements lowering the push pin about 1", I couldn't go lower as I would have been off the plastic. This appears to be the simple answer (see my previous post); the muffs are now more centred giving me adequate room above the bar to fit my hands easily. brian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm convinced... I'll try a pair of muffs this winter. I think I need to have a window on them though to see the control buttons. Being able to go to a lighter glove or mitt will be well worth it. As it is now the reverse button is protected. Being recessed I need to take my glove off to change in and out of reverse. The thumb of my mitts are to large to work with the recess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being recessed I need to take my glove off to change in and out of reverse. The thumb of my mitts are to large to work with the recess. The window is almost un-needed for me ... the Reverse button on my '15 Doo is huge, and I'm very acquainted with the button locations now, so much that I don't even look for them anymore. But yes lighter gloves, very pleasant. I had been getting a bit of breeze in the left side muff, from the gap between the brake hose and the handlebar. I tried adjusting the hose on the reservoir, got the gap a bit smaller. Now that I'm thinking about it, a piece of 3/4" copper pipe foam insulation would be perfect to wrap the bar with and close up that gap. In fact, there's a similar gap between the throttle cable and the right side bar which could use a piece of insulation too. (not required for folks with the throttle by wire setup). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candubrain Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I agree with Techdenis007, you don't need the window. The Hippo Hands on my motorcycle have none and there are a lot more buttons to deal with; muscle memory will take care of it once you've used the switchgear a few times. Good tip @Techdenis007 for the foam insulation. I saw the gaps and wondered how much wind would blow through. I think I'll do the same, thanks brian 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
