Mike, I believe I saw that same photo somewhere else. I posted elsewhere about hand guards and was given a link. They do look a bit big, don't they?
I read on the internet about one guy who fashioned his own by using empty containers and cutting the plastic himself.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who might want to have hand guards. I'm going to try a few more motorbike stores and bring my bike along and see if I can adapt something they have.
Thanks!!! Dave
Dave, they look big in the photos because I tried to get a close-up of them and the proportions with the bike were goofy. They aren't nearly as big as the guards for motorcycles.
In fact, I DID use the black pair to make another pair for myself. I wanted them in green color and just a little bigger for my big hands. Probably if you made a pattern and got into the swing of it, you could make them at a fairly low cost.
They are a good idea and work well. In cold weather areas, anything that keeps your hands warm is fashionable.
