Does anyone use a Radiator Muff during Winter?
My 90 XS is my daily drive on a 10mile commute to work. In order to get it warmed up quicker have been toying with the idea of fitting a Radiator Muff during the winter months. Any thoughts Question Question LANDYWATCH

Okay, me the idiot, but what is a "radiator muff" and it's advantage in a Deffy? Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

With -15 temperatures fast approaching it looks very interesting Wink Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
