Swear by them. The wind protection makes every glove I own good enough on a cold day, and my good gloves great. The material has also stood up well. I will admit that with a riser they don't look as good on the sled, if my bars were higher I'd likely take them off on 'warm' days.

Some of the options are in this tread - http://www.ty4stroke.com/threads/nytro-fuel-caddy.121900/ Yamaha's Rear Carrier / Fuel Caddy - https://www.yamaha-motor.ca/eshop/detail.php?sectionId=AC&groupId=19&subGroupId=15&categoryId=64&itemId=2012 You can generally find the Yamaha Caddies on kijiji.

Good information. Still debating.
