Lever Insulation for Cold Fingers

This won't be applicable to all, but for those who ride in cooler climates and/or have poor circulation here's a neat way to insulate your levers.

I like to leave two fingers on my brake and clutch lever. This means that those four fingers don't get heated by the heated grip wraps. I considered two basic solutions. The warmest would be to build electric lever warmers but this would take more time and work. The easier solution, which I chose to try, was to insulate the levers. Someone on sport-touring.net suggested using fabric hockey tape. I used three layers and it worked so well on the WRX in the first few days of spring commuting that I have now wrapped the levers on my Ducati touring bike and that's working well too.

I won't rule out making lever heaters one day, but this is pretty cheap and easy. Hopefully someone can benefit from the information passed on.

Look's good
You might be able to add an aftermarket snowmobile thumb warmer to the lever

RED!! One more heated gadget to my ever growing arsenal. Beats having to shove cold fingers down my pants to get them warm.
