4 - too hot
5 - medium rare
6 - well done
7 - BBQ
8 - say goodbye to your skin
9 - you have four minutes to reach minimum safe distance

In weather like we've got today they're useful, but when it hits 5 or under, the palms of your hands stay warm but the backs still freeze, hence the handguards.

Mr Self Destruct, old thread I know, but have you fitted those Universal handguards?
Wondering, because if you have, I'd like too.
Just got a new to me FZS1000, so looking to 'mod'.
Got the heated grips, just looking at hand guard options

Yes I did mate, got them three years ago and use them over winter. The fit is ok for my 600 but I'm not sure about a 1000 as I've never had one, but the fairings look similar so you should be ok.
They're not as effective as proper mitts, but with winter gloves and heated grips my hands are always warm.
