True, they are close to the head pipe but I've put 900 miles on them so far with no melting issues. They make a big difference in Colorado in January!

I picked up a set off craigslist for $30 last fall and they really do a good job. I was concerned about how close the right side is to the pipe too but mine don't show any signs of touching. They are nice you can throw them in your bags and they don't take up hardly any room.

It makes the difference between a miserable cold footed ride to a comfy footed ride. Also helps a lot in the rain.

One of the best things I bought for cold weather riding! I've used them for about four years now and they really do the trick for me. I'd rather have them than the lower fairings. Is on...and easy off!
