Me too... when I was doing my research, I'd pretty well decided on a set from Leatherpros. The only local dealer listed was in Temecula, about 45 minutes away, so I rode down to check them out before making the order. I should have \\;called first, since they didn't have any in stock and \\;they were \\;exclusively a special-order item \\;(and since I couldn't find a local source here in Southern California with stock). I did some more research and found some really good reviews of the Osprey Limited line, so contacted them and ended up placing my order.

I'm really happy with them, and find that I leave them on far more often than I expected. They're well-made and were an excellent value.
