They look like they would work on any bikes, and would protect your hands from freezing for the guys who live in colder places. Plus it looks like they are easily removed for better riding temps. They are abit ugly, but here is were fuction matters more than form... WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE FREEZING OFF!
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

National Cycle make these: CLICKY I had a pair on my V-Star. They worked well in wet weather keeping the rain off your hands. My hands still got cold though, but it does help take some the 'bite' out of it. They attach under the mirror stem. Not sure if they will work on the Triumph. H.

Here is the missing "N". Just insert it while you read the post. Some of you can insert it sideways if you like.

I have a set like them on my Tiger.They work very well but if its cold its cold.With just them and no heated grips,my hands still get cold,it just takes 15 minutes longer.Put heated grips and have quality gloves and the wind guards make a huge difference.

I like the fact that early season I can put them on ride to work in the 30's then by 5:00 it hits 60's and I can take the off to ride home. Got to love up state NY weather

They certainly blend in better with a fully-fared bagger...
