I agree on the Airlite recommendation. Nicely made and go on and off easy. Just remember not to run them above 50 degs or so, you will over heat the motor.

I have Desert Dawgs rain/wind guards they come in good quality Pleather or Leather.
Easy on and off .

If you do a search a forum member did tests and they actually kept engine about 10 degrees cooler?


I leave mine on till its about 90f then take them off for my comfort.

I bought mine from Dennis Kirk.
