We're glad that you like them!

Hey Gonzy,

THx for this post...it got me interested in the product so I purchased a black set for my black 09 FLHP. They are very functional and are the best looking version that I have come across.

Here are some photos of them installed:

 

California? Really? They don't sell winter gloves there?


Nice product but I'd spend the money on heated grips instead.

 

Thanks for posting. Been looking for a better locking set of these.




Tori, do you give a forum Member discount for these shields?

I have the National Cycle plastic ones no one likes. I had great hopes but was severely disappointed on the first cold ride. It seems the mirrors on the short stalks deflect the wind down onto one's knuckles perhaps even more so than without the hand shields. My hands were just as cold as before. I would take them off if it weren't for the bugs that get smashed on them. The summertime big ones would hurt on exposed knuckles or fingers. I hope these are better designed but the pictures make me suspect you will have the same results I did.

 

What's the point of hand shields?
I'm not tryin' to be a wiseass, but I really don't see any reason to have them on a street bike.

 

Don't laugh. I got a pair of these for my Dad last year for his 4 wheeler. They are called Hippo Hands, and they work great.

 

Oh yea, I've had hippo hands myself. Wonderful things those! Sadly, they've ceased production. But, there are other knock-offs that work about as well and cost less.

For home made, milk jugs and liter soda bottles work well as shields.

 

Awesome, been using them for a few years.

Why you ask?

Hands are way warmer on cold days, stay drier in rain.

Something the form over function crowd will never understand. Maybe if they were chrome ???

 

[QUOTE=Gonzy;13136822]Yep, I have heated grips and even with my Gerbings gloves my fingers turn blue with the wind rushing against my hands when it's cold.

If that's the case you need a new pair of Gerbing gloves. I have 2 pair...The original gauntlet gloves are warm but very bulky. I bought a new pair of the nubuck (new offering from Gerbing) gloves a few years back and they only keep my hands barely warm. Gerbing discontinued them quickly. The new T-5 seem to be like my originals, warm and bulky.
