Anyone put handlebar covers on their monster?  Like the ones on dirt bikes?  I'm looking for something that will block the wind from my hands.

Yes.  But I have perforated gloves.  Its about 50F in the morning now and my hands are going numb during my 30min commute  [thumbsdown]

I figure its cheaper to buy hand guard than a new set of gloves.  I searched "motorcycle hand guard" but didn't return with much.  Where did everyone get theirs?

50oF sounds great. The highest temperature I saw today was 39oF

Just buy some winter gloves, your hands will be cold even with handguards.  You might also consider heated grips, they are sweet  [thumbsup] 

rockymotomc.com has an assortment of heated grips (or elements to go under your grips) as does twistedthrottle.  rmc also has a big selection of handguards.

For quick and easy warm hands you could try a pair of hippo hands.  They look as goofy as they sound, but would probably fit on a monster and are very warm.
