Default Thoughts on the Memphis Shades Hand guards?


through in a before pic too




What are all your thoughts on These hand guards? I just put 12" Paul Yaffe bars on my bike about a week ago, I had seen A guy from New York Running a set on his Street glide and I liked them.
He was running 14" Factory 47 bars. I really thought that they looked pretty cool, so I ordered a set and put them on Yesterday.
They are different for sure, but serve a function and look cool in my opinion.

I have had another brand of hand guards on my rig for over 6 years now. It's amazing how many rocks & bugs hit them!

They work great for me and I don't care what others think about them.

Actually, I get asked more, where did I get them.

I have them on my 2018 FLHCS (Heritage 114). As has been said above, they don't work wonders in cold weather, but they help a bit. As has also been said, I've been pleased with how road debris and bugs now miss my hands. In warm weather, I ride without gloves and the missed road debris and bugs is a plus.

Those look like the ones I run on my 19 CVO, in black. They work very well, both for rocks and bugs, but with 14" they help in cold weather. Just ordered a set in chrome for my 13 CVO king with 14 apes.

Bill,
Yours are the best looking I have seen. I think the color helps a lot as the blend in very nicely. I have been looking for some for my 12 inch bars for winter. Any down sides to using them?
Thanks

So far no down sides, but I have had them on for less than a week.
I'm enjoying them so far. Thanks for the replies.

This is the bike I first seen them on last Thursday. He's running 14" Factory 47 bars and told me where to pick up a set.
