Engine Guard Chaps

Got these on sale on ebay for $29.95

I was surprised at the thickness. The have velcro straps that hold them on to the crash bar brackets. Their description is misleading. It says they have a pocket on the left crash bar but it doesn't. Still not a bad deal.

I looked at the eBay link and they look nice. Not a bad price either.

I'm just not ready to move up to ready made high society. I zip tied the ones I made last year back on.

They look pretty good. I have the Airlite chaps and I like them alot.

clayton · 01-08-2010, 12:33 PM

Good Price...will they fit '08 1600 Nomads I wonder?

jesse · 01-08-2010, 09:14 PM

After seeing the Airlite chaps I knew those were the ones I wanted. I think they are great, made a lot of difference in the cold temps, haven't tried them in the rain yet.

I just installed a pair from PH custom they fit great they do help with the cold as well as wet roads I'm very happy with mine, I believe I gave $40.00 plus shipping look very close to what you have.
ride safe.

They are made by the same company (bestem) I got my saddlebag liners from and they are great! Can't tell them apart from the Kawa bags; padded lining, pockets, emblem and still look like new after a season of pretty good use.

They are a little more expensive than the liners I have seen here that have the embroidery on them but well worth it in my book just to be able to keep things better organized. See them here as $20 less than I paid for them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kawas...Q5fAccessories

Airlites are great in the cold and rain. They do a very nice job of keeping spray off of my feet and between the Airlites and the lowers, my feet never feel cold.

I too have Airlites. I prefer the way they attach, there is no flapping in the breeze, they are snug, and there is no way for air or water to slip between the frame and the chap/crash bar. Check out Airlites and you'll see why that's what a lot of us have.
