I didn't buy them for looks, I bought them for utility. They really help in cold weather and to protect your hands from thrown rocks, bugs, etc. Great for winter and nice in summer if you want to ride without gloves.

It's funny, I am always trying to remove things, and strip my bike down as lean as possible, and some people are always trying to add things. Different strokes...

I'm personally not a fan of the look, I do see the utility in them tho. My hands are the only part that get noticeable cold riding in the 30s and I may try out a set next year only for that purpose and remove in warmer months. I suppose I could find warmer gloves too haha

I don't have any pics, but I like mine. Black that goes with the bike. I can REALLY tell how much they help when the temps are down in the 30's-40's. They definitely don't keep your fingers "warm", but I can sure tell that my fingers don't get numb like they used to.
Two thumbs up.
