Tucano Urbano Hand Grip Covers / Mitts / Muffs

[Scoots you sir]

I see there's been some posts about Tucano Urbano scooter coats / aprons so I thought you guys might like to see the mitts / muffs from the same maker I've just fitted.
They're the R333 model, which is a universal type but is a pretty good fit for my C600 (and presumably C650 too).

I have heated grips, but when it's really cold or raining I've always found mitts to be a godsend.

Some things to note:
For a good secure fit you need remove the bolts holding the handlebar weights on - they're massive M12 size and a torx key will not do the job. A torx bit (size T55) and ratchet is definitely required.
Two large washers are needed too which weren't supplied, so I had to source them myself.
I had to cut down the rubber cup on the right hand side so it wouldn't rub on the throttle.

The rigid design is good in that it stops them flapping about at speed and means they won't move backwards and tip the brake levers on you, but they can foul your arms a little when making large steering inputs.

My first post here - hope I haven't done anything wrong!

Welcome aboard. Looks like you sure got the hang of this forum. Great info.

Thanks for sharing, I'm keen to try them on my sport, but we've not had a winter here for a few years

Great! thank you and welcome.

Thanks everyone. When I get the chance I'll post some photos of my Ermax hugger mudguard / fender.

Do they close around your wrists?

They were supplied with closures around the wrists, but for the sake of safety I cut the fabric out. I've had frights before where I've been fiddling with my visor and suddenly needed to grab the brakes, only to get fouled up by the muffs.
I should have pointed that out - first thing I did when I got them two months ago, then forgot I'd done it!

I know it sounds bizarre...but it's the sad and awful truth. In northern California I estimate only two or three days that could be considered winter this season. I'm still wearing the same gloves I like for summer. I'm the kind that likes all the seasons, so I'm feeling a bit ripped off.

If I used those, how would I hold my Latte while I rode???

Well, I "like" them seasons too. I love traveling to "winter" by going to any of the nearby mountains and then come home to nice weather all in one day!
