Not sure if this is helpful but I fitted a set of these to my bike and am very pleased with them. I particularly like the fact that I could decide what grips I want to use with it. It has 2 settings and was also very easy to install.

Went into Farmlands to day and got these. They have lining in them, zippers, anda wire frame to form to my arms.
They only go as far as the mirrors of course, but the zipper is rugged and will hold. I could take the mirrors off and make a nice hole in them but for highway riding in winter and going to work, they are perfect....

The best thing was the price, I asked because there wasn't a sticker or tag. He looked it up on the computer and said "these are $15.00"

I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough and walked out with a grin from ear to ear knowing that they had quoted me a pair of fingerless mittens from Polyproplene me thinks....

These are serious mittens and well made, they should have been at least $60.00, I know beacuse the last pair I returned for being too small for my Barkbusters were $59.95 and they were inferior to these ones.

The other photo shows what you can do when you walk into a boat builders yard with a box of Waikato...
30 minutes work, I walk out with two perspex, smokey headlight protectors. I used the old one as the tmplate and he cut two for me, all for $21.99 (beer) Awesome guys.....Thanks

These are thicker than my Touratech one, so will withstand more twisting, bumping, knocks etc. The other ones had cracked at the middle and where the aluminium frame met the perspex....

These look hot, especially in the smoked perspex, and it doesn't detract from the brightness of the headlight, still the same at the end of the day...
