Has anyone come across handlebar muffs that works with our handlebar mounted signals lights? I don't mean the deflectors you can get from Memphis Shades, I'm referring to a full muff similar to what you can get from Hippo Hands
Being a So Cal guy, the first time I ever saw those was on my trip to the UK a few years ago! I would think any decent tailor shop could cut out an opening and make them look reasonably decent. That being said, it does get damn cold out in our deserts and mountains. I use headed glove liners.

Reason: a bit more to add
Very nice color, I love it...
how do the fangs work with the Windsplitter, I saw that you mounted them on the outside of the windshield mounting brackets, have you tried putting them inside?
Installed the Bassani Road Rage Short 2-1 today on the 20RKS. Very nice system and phenomenal quality and sound! It will also be much easier to do rear tire changes and clutch bleeds.
Oh crud! I forgot to post this yesterday but it still may be on. KST Kustom's has killer holiday sales. I bought my bars last year during the holidays and saved a ton. If you have been thinking about a new set of bars, now may well be the time to pull the trigger!
Thanks for the pipe...
But for me I don't like so much high bars, the bars I would fit on my RKS in the future would be the Road Glide Special bars, I love their pullback and their curves
I totally agree, I am not a fan of tall bars but that's why lollypops come in so many flavors I went with 12" (stock bars are 9") The three inches wasn't crazy high but I chose their adjustable pullback style and that was worth as much as going up a few inches. I was really taken back over the years I rode with the stock bars as to just how wide they are. My two previous E-glides, my Dyna and of course my Vespas have much more narrow bars all of which I think are more comfortable. And it's not like I'm wrestling with the bike in size, I am 6'1" with fairly broad shoulders. Those darn stock bars just always seemed wide especially at slow speed-tight turns.
That's right, slow speed-tight turns and maneuvering in parking lots at low speed is sometimes a little tricky.
Otherwise like you I don't particularly struggle with the bike, I'm 5'11" with an inseam of 34", but I'm just a little too straight with the stock bars and as I like cruising I would prefer to be a little more in rear with the arms falling more naturally, I had the opportunity to ride an RKS equipped with an RGS handlebar and I find that the position allows me to be more relaxed...
And I have heard that you don't need to change the wires and the cables with these bars...
