Those are very tempting. I may have to make the purchase. I liked the view out of yours. And that wasn't the only thing I liked about riding your bike!!!...as short as it was.........moving from a '95 to an '04 is a noticable improvement in the "newness factor" all by itself!! :worthy:
I like the sound of that Rick.....maybe "The Ghost of the Sheep Hole Run"! :th_smilie:
yea i like 'em. like i said tho get a couple sets at that price, chances are you'll bang 'em into something. glad u enjoyed it bud!

Garrett how do they hand guards work for ya?? what kind where you get it? look like skidoo guards

they're powermadd guards. they work ok. maybe block 20% of the wind. part of the reason they don't work as well si the wind can still get in on the inside b/t the m/c for the brake/clutch and the guard themselves.
i like 'em tho. i also like that theres 3 different configs. that whole top half comes off and theres a smaller one or just leave it off with vents....
no substitue for heated gear/grips tho i think. grips should be in this week. coulda used them this morning 29 degrees when i left. too cold for my hands at 80 mph unfortunately.

there is the effect of air compressibility which "in short" is at a certain speed the air actually heats up due to compressibility so by that logic dude you just need to drive faster until the air warms your hands
unk:unk: or wait for the grips i guess:confused2: your choice

Yeah I did Garrett...I ordered this morning, they sent me a confirm e mail, and a couple hours later they sent me another e mail saying the item had been shipped.
Sometimes that's ******** tho, they send the PO a notice that they INTEND to ship something then tell you the shipping process has started!
My spider senses begin to tingle when I start following the progress on UPS tracking...then I know they're on the way.
What did you hear from them? Did you tell them the Easterners are going on the 'Last Ride' soon? :biglaugh: I'm sure they give a ****.....eh?
Follow-up: I just called, my grip warmers are packed and going out in this afternoons mail, USPS Priority, should have them in 3 - 4 days.
