I must admit I'm a little spoiled by thumbwarmers and handwarmers on the new machines today but I can't find anything in the winter gear arsenal that can keep my hands warm hanging on to that cold steel handle. And this is as 20 degrees. I can't imagine gripping on to the steel bar at 10 below.
What are you guy wearing to keep your hands warm?
The original Diablo Hus Ski Rider must have been a hardy soul to be able to ride an stay warm. The riders featured in the promotional videos, that are so much fun to watch on Bruce's DVD, show the riders dressed as if they were going to church. Perhaps there was a handwarmer option that we just don't know about.
Bruce, Do some more research on this.

Re: Cold steel - Keeping your hands warm
The answer to that Terry is a big "No" on the handwarmer option.
However, speaking of options - Dave M from Cedar, Minnesota brought me what he believes is an original windshield bracket off a Diablo 500. I was skeptical for sure, but this is a fabricated rounded bracket that looks manufactured and fits the Diablo handle bars. I'll share pics at some point.

Too many Diablos and parts to count.

Re: Cold steel - Keeping your hands warm
The handwarmer comment was my attempt at humor, perhaps not such a good attempt though. I am going to find some warmer hand protection. What I have works on the Ski doo but not on the Diablo.
I'm anxious to see the windshield bracket. If it pans out it sounds like we've all got more work to do this summer.
