Yep I love mine, get another 10 degrees on the road. Don't need chaps now when I used to. Got these for $45 shipped instead of the HD ones:

Best $49.00 investment. Cold and Rain. Nylon ones. I'm just wondering how much longer the snaps will work, but for the price, I'd buy another set in a heartbeat.

At first they are a pain to put an when new. For the first time, stick them in the dryer for 10 Min's to heat them up. They'll stretch and get easier the more you use them. They never leave my bike. Fold them flat into the bottom of my bags.
Love mine too. The ones I have ( HD Nylon ) use an adhjustable belt style clip with velcro that can be loosened and tightened at will to put them on !

Can you shoot a pic of your setup? I've been wanting a set of these but also had the fog lights. I had the same idea of cutting a hole in there for the light but was concerned the cloth would rip. So it's held up eh? Did you reinforce the cloth where you cut it?

I have the Road Spirit and like the velcro fastener system for fast on and off. They fold up small so I've used them in the rain as well and they do help. Oh and they are cheap also, well made for something you only want on temperally.

Sounds like a must have item! I guess I'll get a pair and give them a try.

These are the ones I have. A really nice one piece design with heavy duty velcro.

I no longer need them anymore since I purchased some vented lowers. If anyones interested, hit me up via PM. I don't think mine have the cut outs for highway pegs. Don't use em so didn't order it like that.
