Just refitted the Oxford muffs on mine useing the barend bolt mod.
I have renthal bars with oberon barends so just made a small hole in each muff at the right point and fitted longer bolts for the barends (went from 65mm to 100mm but this was overkill 80mm was enough) then used a large penny washer on the outside of the muff with a small washer and a rubber washer (rubber one to protect the paint on the bar ends) on the inside of the muff. took 10 mins in all and i tested at local track (honest officer) and held fine at 120mph and even at 140+ although they got a bit thinner and touched the top of my hand they didnt touch the levers.
also its cold ,wet and windy out tonight and even at those speed i didnt even get a chill on my hands and i tested without gloves at all to check for coldness.
i did find i have the fuzzygoth mirror mod and the muffs do show in the mirrors a bit, but not to intrusive.
still think muffs or guards are one of the best things around to keep hands warm.
