I have a clear pair of them from Memphis Shades, they do make a differance. Easy on/off too, I have a short factory summer windshield and a tall one from Freedom Shields for the winter, takes about 15 minutes to swap the windshield and put the handguards on. Being clear, they are unnoticable from a few feet away.
From Memphis Shades? I had the ones from National Cycle on my metric for years but the dont make them for my RG.
Yes mine are memphis shades. Bought em new on fleabay for $21.00. I didnt like the crappy finish on them and I had some other parts going to the powdercoater so I had him do a better gloss black coat on them.
I'm sure that they are utilitarian but never the less what has not been stated is they are a bit on the obtrusive side and you can argue that all day long if you like. Then again I hate to ride in the rain too and if I have a choice won't.
At my age anymore I am a fair weather rider and mostly chose to ride in temperatures not much lower than my age, FWIW. lol
