i looked at those shamrock shields. don't like the way they look. they look like a set of saddle bags thrown across the bike. they don't blend in at all with the bike and appear to not be attached at the bottom, allowing them to flap. IMHO they look like S***, but each to their own.


BTW, RJ are these violating your patent?

Maybe its just me, but one looks like it belongs on a horse and the other "blends"to the lines of my bike.

Ok looks like this has been beat to death however the Kuryakyns suck. Put them on my bike and they work great right up to the time they break. Both broke at the front connection and my dealer took one look at them and said he'd seen the same thing 4-5 times before and was discouraging anyone from using them. They're just plastic and not reinforced enough for the long haul.

Gman, My Attorneys be knockin on their door shortly. You can bet yur butt their infringin and they got the gaul to say they sold 15000! Yeah right! And to think, some riders ask if mine trap heat. Which they don't! As for that style, I would think they do for sure. But thats just my opinion. Oh wait, I'm entitiled to that. I hold the US Patent!

i looked at those shamrock shields. don't like the way they look. they look like a set of saddle bags thrown across the bike. they don't blend in at all with the bike and appear to not be attached at the bottom, allowing them to flap. IMHO they look like S***, but each to their own.
