Our muffs install in a few seconds on all bikes. We have incorporated additional design features on the Harley Muffs to accomodate Harleys' throttle cables, which come out at 90 degrees to the handlebar, Harley models with handlebar-mounted turn signal lights, and "electronig throttle" newest models.

For more design details, please go to our main Hippo Hands page.

Please: before ordering your Hippo Hands, check the position of the turn signals with respect to the mirror stems on your hog. If they are placed perfectly lined up (vertically) on the handlebars, please order the first model of Hippo Hands immediately below. If the turn signals are slightly offset towards the centre of the bike (about 3/4"), please order the second type below. Other variations of handlebar control configurations follow below, including the latest "electronic throttle" models.

Here are a few I took outdoors. The bike is nice and clear, but I don't think you can pick up any details on the Hippo Hands. I don't know--maybe that's the point. They're not pretty--per se--but I don't think they detract from the looks of the bike. I think they actually kinda fit into the look of the bike in winter. I have my lowers on, my Dragon Wing deflectors, my sheepskin seat cover, and my Hippo Hands.

I like your product, and would be willing to write a short review as well--if you'd like--covering the many advantages of Hippo Hands. My favorite thing is that they're a breeze to put on and take off. I actually removed them at work for the ride to Jemez Dam (it was a warm afternoon), and put them back on for the pics. Anyway, here are the pics I promised. I hope you find them of some use.

Customers' Testimonials:

" ... I give you permission to use whatever literary or photographic parts of my emails you like. It would be a blast to have you use a pic of Big Blue. I could then direct a bunch of my buds to your site for some education. I think a lot of the perceived resistance to using your product comes from a lack of knowledge and experience. I get a lot of people looking at the Hippo Hands when I park in front of restaurants, convenience stores, and even my place of employment (the US Forest Service). Big Blue is something of a rolling billboard, so I have to make sure I have some information on your product. I presently just tell them to Google Hippo Hands. The name itself is a grabber--and people remember."

2001 Harley Davidson Road King fitted with Hippo Hands.

Hi! Well, I traded my Harley Sportster in for a Heritage Softail today. I used my hippo hands on the Heritage, (they did not work on the Sportster). I am going to blast these things all over town! THey are the BEST!!!!!
While I was on my way to the dealership on the Sportster, my fingers were burning from the cold.....only after 10 miles.

On my way HOME from the dealership with the hippo hands installed, I took a detour (on purpose) and ended up parking my brand new bike after 73 miles!!!!! All I kept thinking was, "Gee....I wish I had hippo feet!" They are awesome!

Thought you'd like to hear some positive feedback. I e-mailed your web site to my Harley sales lady! She wanted to know more about them.

"Warmly" (haha) Karen

Hi Dan, I received the hands a week ago Friday. I was only able to try them one time this past Monday. The temp was in the low 40s. Two days later Chicago caught 3 inches of snow. My initial impression is more than positive. They installed fast, and with a few mods (using binder clips to gather the material around the bar and sealing the hole around the accelerator cables with a cloth) I was down the road. They worked as advertised and made quite a difference by blocking the wind across my knuckles. I tried placing two hand warmers in the hands, but they didn't seem to make a difference. Oh well, it was just a thought. In Chicago, we're all hoping that the snow will clear and stay dry by Dec. 5th. That is the date for the "Toys for Tots" run. It will be the final big rally for bikers. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with this product. I will tell and show my brothers about them. Have a great holiday. Best wishes, Kevin Conway

Dan,
I just wanted to confirm with you that your other customer received the set of your Hippo Hands I sent out. Please let me know, I have a tracking number for the package if there has been a problem. By the way I just want to let you know that these are one of the best things I have bought for my bike. Makes winter time commuting enjoyable. They cut the wind so much that I have been riding with my just my summer rain gloves with temps in the upper 20s. Thanks for a great product.

HI... I have used your Hippohands now for a few years. In fact I lost a pair out of my saddlebags last year and I purchased another set and they are much better...tell your sis..she did good!

I was on a very wet ride up to mount saint helens in washington with my motorcycle group, Olympic Thunder. A lot of the gals got a opportunity to see just how your HH work...I was wondering if you ever do a group buy?? I know there are a few of them that want to buy them but I thought we could save them shipping someway buying more...

By the way...at my work site there is a bike that parks next to me that has hippohands now...that little tag that shows your website link really was a great idea..I can't tell you how much I love these..I gave my Gerbing heated gloves to another gal this weekend...they were soaked..I was riding all weekend in my fingerless gloves..perhaps that is what sold them on how good they work!

Thanks

Noelle
