"It is a very good fit. I'm sure if you had my bike you could have made a slit for the mirror to slide in to, however, I think this design will have the flexibility to let it fit several different aluminum hand guards plus there is plenty of room for even larger plastic shields. I like the extra velcro in the mirror area ..."I also like the plastic in the frontal area... It does not make it work any better, it just helps it hold it's form for better looks..........I'm thinking about looks and I ride a KLR!!!!!"
"Thanks for working with me on this and if there are any other angles or measurements that you would like pics of just let me know. I plan on having these on my web site before the end of the weekend with a STRONG recommendation to go this route instead of the heated grips for the KLR. I still have trouble believing I can ride in 30 deg f temps with my vented summer gloves."

Just wanted to let you guys know these things exceed my expectations! I was riding around in freezing weather with summer gloves on. These things work where a pair of expensive, bulky winter gloves had failed. I've already had a couple people ask me about them, and it occurrs to me if you want to sell even more of them, embroider your website URL on them somewhere. I've seen people check them out while I'm parked.

Just wanted you to know that the hippo hands arrived at my front door this afternoon. They are exactly what I had hoped they would be. I've all ready put them on the Wing and not only do they look great they fit perfectly. Haven't had a chance to actually ride with them but I can tell that I'll probably be able to go back to summer weight gauntlets when I ride. I much prefer a lighter glove to my heavy winter ones. I'll continue to carry my winter gloves and my electric liners just in case but I'm of the opinion that they'll never get used.
Thanks so very much for a very fine product that's also fairly priced.
Sincerely,
Karl H. Moltmann Milwaukie, OR
