I found a utube of them and I like the look and the sound of these they are sort of a cross between muffs (which are massive and look horrible) and guards that bang the fzs 600 fairing.Cant work out how they fit looks like you take your bar end screw out leaving your bar end and add a spacer between the end and the guard and then use the longer screw provided. But not sure
If they're firm enough to avoid collapsing when at speed and flexible enough to bend away from the fairing when on full lock, they sound ideal.Though at £100-ish perhaps a bit pricey compared to the £13 "universal" ones on ebay.
Cheers Fazersharp, might see how I fair with the heated grips first.

We can go half's and have one each to test if we both like then we go 1/2s on another set, If one of us like it and one not then we can buy the other off each other.Seriously though I very much doubt that anyone on here has tried these as the subject comes up every winter and I have been on every post about hand guards and they have never been mentioned.

I've got some. Think they are great. Been commuting 170 miles per day throughout Winter. Absolutely fine at motorway speeds. No bending or flapping and they don't restrict access to your controls.They are more like oversized handguards than muffs. so they won't MAKE your hands warm - but they will keep the wind off.
Cheers Fazersharp, That's proper decent of you thank you, I will just hang on a bit. There will be some one hopefully on here who has tried them. I don't get the fazer until Friday this week. I have had heated grips put on this was just added protection might see how I fair with the heated grips first. But if they aren't warm enough then the guards will be going on I like comfort when out riding. Steve.
They certainly will touch the fairing and mirrors on the 98 FZS600 but I doubt that will be a problem.If you look at the pics of my cheap handguards you can see it's the top of the guard that touches, this is where the Barkbusters look like fabric rather than rigid plastic so shouldn't apply any significant force to either mirrors or fairing.My set-up is only a nuisance when parking, there's slight resistance when pushing the bars far enough to engage the steering lock, there is no problem when actually riding.
