Looks good and you can't beat the price. Where on eBay did you find it?

the Captn's crotch cooler looks to be made out of much thicker leather & looks to be double layered for durability

the el cheapo looks to be a thin single layer that'll curl like a potato chip in no time & & prolly won't last a single season

if i were in the market for one, i'd order one from CI & not waste my money

I have the Captain Itch crotch cooler. It works great. The only downfall is how the coil shows thru with a weird bump. I am going to remedy that with an Exile Cycles relocation kit though.

Those look like they fit the lines of the bike better. Most of those heat shields look like mudflaps hanging down from the side of the seat but these are hardly noticeable. If they work, definitely worth the money.

I agree with deadeye, I don't like that most of the thigh coolers look like mudflaps. The ones that fierofly purchased has a better look and doesn't detract from the look of the bike. I like the price even better. Make sure you let us know how they work out during the riding season.
