Eight or more years now with mine on. Color matched with the Fastest Color!

Heated gloves, heated grips, and hand guards make a lot of difference. What's really crazy is how much chit actually hits them!

I have a clear pair of them from Memphis Shades, they do make a differance. Easy on/off too, I have a short factory summer windshield and a tall one from Freedom Shields for the winter, takes about 15 minutes to swap the windshield and put the handguards on. Being clear, they are unnoticable from a few feet away.

I don't know why I'm surprised, but there are a lot more people using them than I thought there would be. Mine should be here today.

Yes mine are memphis shades. Bought em new on fleabay for $21.00. I didnt like the crappy finish on them and I had some other parts going to the powdercoater so I had him do a better gloss black coat on them.

I'm sure that they are utilitarian but never the less what has not been stated is they are a bit on the obtrusive side and you can argue that all day long if you like. Then again I hate to ride in the rain too and if I have a choice won't.

At my age anymore I am a fair weather rider and mostly chose to ride in temperatures not much lower than my age, FWIW. lol
