Got em and really like em. Saves my thighs and to me the look is compatible with the bike.

yes, they are a bit pricey, but they are a quality product that looks good next to the seat. They work quite well, and would recommend them highly.

One of those products that until u try it will leave u wondering how does it really work? I also like that it doesn't seem to capture the heat as much as redirect it while you are sitting in traffic or at a light.

Personally i think it blends in well with the bike, and looks much better than those plastic (acrylic) ones that look chintzy to this eye? I've also seen some that look like a horse blanket under your seat. yuck.

with these installed, does the passenger get all the heat back at them?

Nope, not that my passenger feels any negativedifference. And she did complain about a hot foot before.

I suspect that it really gets funneled forward when you are stopped as opposed to getting the back of the thigh dead on. Once moving it really doesn't make a difference.
