Just chugging along...
Agree with you about the liners following the fingers... have been wearing a pair of silk gloves from NZ Nature http://www.nznature.co.nz/product/silk-glove-liners which overcome that problem...Originally Posted by Ocean1
Perhaps you'll be able to wear those Alpinestar gloves after all...

Good price. They're either Acerbis items a model later than those in post #2 or a knock off of same.I am waiting on delivery of a set of these.
Be carefull with the delicate wee wires....
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

Was going to reinforce them with some heat shrink or trunking tube.

Will do, assuming memory does not fail me. They are knockoffs to be sure at that price but if they look as good in person as the pic and work I dongivashit.

Like Ocean 1, I have Acerbis guards on the Street Triple. They do a reasonable job of deflecting wind and rain without looking too big and clunky. I don't have heated grips and the guards plus Held winter gloves and Rain-offs over the top on the coldest days is all I use. You can also buy LED strips to fit in the centre of the Acerbis guards. I personally think they're a bit naff but they would certainly let you be seen!

Listen, I've got little enough to aspire to nowadays without having you tell me Naf shit isn't the cutting edge of fashion.
I've been practicing Naff for fucking years!

They arrived today. Well stoked. Had a wee test fit when I got home. They fit nicely around my larger road levers and master cylinder in a way that mx ones just don't.
The wires do actually already have trunking in them in mat black. Still would not want to go full on bush bashing as it would not take much to snag them.
Where they come out they should be easy enough to route down the other cables coming from the bars.
They look well made, I'll try and remember to post some pics when on and connected.

I also like the wind guards can be taken off and just the light bar attached over summer and the fitment hardware is bigger and more serious looking than most other kits like this.
I really need to ride with them for a bit to give a real report though.

they don't look naff at all either!
Nana
That was something I was concerned about but they don't seem to detract from the looks. Hard to see in the iPhone picture from 6 feet away but in that light all you can normally see from 20 feet or more away with the sun behind is any chrome bits. And the headlight. If the sun is low enough not even the headlight.
LEDs are bright and clear even with a setting sun behind.
They give the bike some width. I'll report back in a couple of thousand kms. ( about 2-3 weeks. ) so far all the traffic I have encountered seems to be more aware of my presence. Even when riding "out of the setting sun"
To be fair it was only 15 degrees this morning not the 8 of last week but no need for the heated grips yet.
