i got some of them suckers today at the local dealer for 90 bucks. They look awsome but i can barely fit my hands between the throddle and brake lever. I rode for half a day with em on trying to get use to them. I even killed the bike once. I kept slipping the clutch when changing gears. I was just wondering if anyone else had these and had the same problem and if it got any better. I sure like the way they look, so maybe ill just wear them wile im driving my truck.

they really do look great, and it cant hurt to be wearing them if you ever get into a bar brawl!

I got 'em. They are great for protection and bragging rights but very bulky for fast riding. I had to get used to closing the throttle completely before using the front brake as the glove would keep it open while I was attempting to slow down.

You definitely have to get used to riding with these on!

I tried getting a pair of those but every place that had them, the knuckle plates where scratched.

And Tommy summed it up, I'd want to have those on if I ever got into a fist fight.

I have the short cuff ones... had to get XL because L would not go on at all.. even XL was tight..

It took a few days for them to loosen up but they are fine now and I don't have any problems at the controls with them on.. however, they are too thick for summer riding and so they only get used at night now (until the temps get back down to the 50's or so)

good to know they will loosen up. They were too expensive just for the bragging rights. My friends said the same thing about the bar room brawl. My 2 yr. old girl is sceared of them[:0]. Ill just keep wearing them till they get broke in.

same problems..... 2 more to add though: The piece that goes up to the pinky finger on palm kept making me think I was off the end of the bar and you can't touch a damn thing on your bike because of the palm rivets. I got rid of them before my tank got all sctarched up.

yeah i forgot about that part, i usually put my two fist on the tank wile im waiting at a light. I cant do that now and i cant even touch any part of my bike with em so i just swing my arms back and forth by my sides and now i think people are just saying look at that idiot shoing off his new gloves.

I've got the teknic violator gloves with the chrome knuckles. Maybe you guys should try those. They look pretty cool.
