Leave them on. Good wind breaker for long trip, nice in a heavy rain, might hit some cool spots in the mountains.

Leave em on.&nbsp\\; They're a good place to stash gloves or glasses or....&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; If yours&nbsp\\; are vented, you can always open the vents to get more air.&nbsp\\; They keep my feet and lower legs dry during the rain.

Keep them on.&nbsp\\; Great blocker for rain and cool air in mountains.

I leave mine on in the Summer and remove the adjustable part. Good mix, lots of air flow and still have the storage.

I left mine on last year when I went to Sturgis. Didn't really notice it making any difference as far as heat goes, but they sure are nice in the rain and cold.

I have an '02 Ultra and live in the Mojave Desert.&nbsp\\; I used to take mine of in the summer but don't bother anymore.&nbsp\\; I leave them on all year round and would especially leave them on for any long road trip.&nbsp\\; Have a great ride.

I've takne mine off for the summer but if I were going for more then 500 miles each way I'd likely put them on.
