There is a guy that makes deflectors that are much larger than the NC version and work well. I used them last year on a 70 mile commute in 25 degrees while riding 75 mph. My hands were still cold, but much better than without the deflectors. I'll have to do some digging to find the guy...

I have used Hippo Hands for several seasons on my VT1100 Honda Sabre.. coupled with heated grips worked well..

They are ugly and nurdy but work really well.

I am considering gerbings gloves for the Valk

I use these http://www.vpaccessories.com/valkyrie_accessories.htm

not perfect but better than nothing. I actually put some foam near the attachment point and the shield which helps reduce airflow.
keeping the body core esp the lower back warm is the most important, aka electric vest.
