I rode with a guy last summer that had some of those, they were clear and hardly noticeable. He said it kept the heat off of his legs big time. he was from Dallas and my guess was he had alot of stop and go city riding. I don't do that much stop and go stuff except in a parade or something but the last parade I did I pulled out because I thought my bike was getting too hot. These 103 motors get hot quick sitting still, even with the oil coolers.

Maybe I should check those out, not a bad idea.
