I think it is innovative idea, but don't think it will do anything that engine guard chaps and/or lower don't already do. Anyone have or seen something like this before?
I personally would not use it. I don't have any problems with wind buffet with the way my bike is currently set up.

I'm with you on this on Jared. It does nothing for me.
Besides, if the goal is to eliminate wind buffeting altogether one should drive a car.

I think its a really dumb looking idea, who would want to wear those things? They would also scuff the paint on the tank over time.

Star Wars shin guards? No Thanks.
I ride a MC because of how I feel with the air around me, reminds me of flying down the steepest hill in town on my bicycle. Oh what a feeling that was! It was as close to MC speed as I could get.

Naah. Don't think so. My lowers work just fine.

It isn't that bad of an idea to begin with. I wouldn't use it, but I gotta give the guy props for thinking and trying it out. I would think the added air resistance would make your legs more tired from fighting the wind. It would be interesting to see how the rider feels over several hundred miles.
Gotta have some outside thinkers to get new things designed.

Have an accident and you'd have a cheap knee implant.
