Not only do they help quite a bit in the cold, but if you've ever taken a good-sized rock from a 70 mph truck right on your knuckles...

And they do look cool, eh? I get compliments all the time.

They do make a difference. I do have heated grips and gloves as well.

Of course I had to paint mine to color match, so they would have the FASTEST color! Lol.

I got mine from one of the forum sponsors and got a discount too.

I think Great Biker Gear is the name.

I think you need to get someone to outline some feather patterns on yours. They really flow as wings with the fairing eagle head.

Zen,

Thanks for the great idea!
However, it's amazing how much crap hits the guards. Have some small chips from taking head on hits and putting feathers on would look good for a short time.

I made my own with plexiglass and aluminum stock from Lowes. They look a bit crude but work great. I wanted to try them for the winters and they Wouk great . I might get a real set now and ditch the homemade ones.

Group,

You may not have used the fast color.........But

How did you get the paint codes that "Wonder Woman" used on her airplane?!?

You have got some connections that you're not talking bout!

Can't do.

They have some very expensive "fake" carbon fiber on the inside.
