Default Desert Dawg

Recieved my Desert Dawg's today from the USA and they are the muts nuts.
What I read on the instructions was that on one side of the card it says 'can be ridden in all weathers not like some' (or words to that effect) and on the other side it states ' not to be used in hot weather etc'
So much for ars$ covering!

I think hot equates to Arizona in August.
What would be needed to make them fit a HD crashbar with HD fog lights. Since you have them in your hands maybe you could let me know. Thanks, *****

Don't think fog lights would work with them without some revamping.You might call Leader and see if they've got any ideas.Real nice folks,might even custom make a set for you.As far as temp. riding at highway speeds 85-90 deg. I don't notice any rise in engine temp. I think they might even funnel some air to the cylinders but at lower speeds the heat really pools up behind them which is very uncomfortable in hot weather 70 deg up. but great in cold and rainy weather.Mine come off above 70 deg.

Well in the UK it won't get that hot so should be OK! Where are your fogs situated?
