Don't think gloves are gonna matter all that much in a wreck.

SportyPig, I don't know what kind of lever you have, is that a polished lever? I think it could be just like silverware, when you polish them, you will see a lot of black stuff coming off the silver. I would try some silver/brass polish, it may work.

I second that, gloves may not save your skin but still better than using your skins as gloves. Dallaxtx, you can try to get summer gloves, I have these ones, high air flow, they don't bother me at all, very cool in the summer. I also have gloves for winter.

I don't wear gloves this time of year.
You don't think crashes happen this time of year, or you use yer knuckles to collect a snack while riding?

Get rid of the gayass fingerless gloves!

[/align]Well, if you ever took a tumble, then the first thing most riders do is put their hands down to try and protect themselves, and "gayass fingerless gloves," leather of course, offer protection of the palm area of the hand, something that could lose a lot of skin and make a person very uncomfortable for a long time after such an incident, as well as making it difficult to do things with their hands, also, for awhile afterwards.[/align][/align][/align]Not only that, but people who carry guns might have trouble getting their fingers on the trigger if needed if they were wearing full coverage gloves.[/align][/align]Also, some people might have trouble digging bugs out of their noses while riding down the freeway with full coverage gloves.[/align][/align]
But hey, that's just my opinion, you're free to feel your manhood is threatened if you wear fingerless gloves or not.[/align][/align]Go easy on me, ******, I know I'm taking on the monitor and thatyou hold all power in your full gloved hands... [/align]

Since it has become warm, and I've been able to return to my fingerless gloves, my left fingers get dirty as everything everytime I ride. I guess whatever protective coating was on the clutch lever from the factory got worn off during the winter. I have NO CLUE what type of product to put on those stock levers.

I know I could just get some new chrome ones, but that's not the answer I'm interested in.

Suggestions please..????

Wash your bike, including the grips, every now and then?

Well, what can I say, I live in the wild west and lots of people out here carry guns legally, and some trigger guards make it difficult to get glovedfingers through.

Let's see. My feet usually kick in the cager's door before I hit the ground. 42 bucks suprises me for the gloves.I thought everything at Harley is a H undred D ollars.
