    Default ****** NEW PRODUCT******

    Does your passengers hands get wet and or cold ????? Does the constant complaining about this drive you to the point where you want to push that person off the bike while moving ?????? Not any more...... I will show you how to eliminate this issue once and for all for less than $30.00.

    Winter and cold and riding season is almost here. This new product arrived in the nick of time and will extend you riding season by months. This product also doubles in the spring, summer and fall seasons as rain hand protection to keep your passengers hands nice and dry during travel. These can easily be unzipped and stored in the trunk in mere seconds.




    Introducing....... PASSENGER PUFFS !!!!!!!!!



    First you will want to get yourself a set of handlebar muffs for a snowmobile or ATV. You can purchase these on ebay or your local motorsports stores that sell ATV's or snowmobiles. I purchased these for less than $20.00 at my local Arctic Cat dealer. These are 100% water and wind proof and it just so happens this brand matches my bike perfectly.

    Next, rip the seam out on the inside edge

    Get yourself 2 zippers to sew in place of the seam you just ripped apart. In my particular application I used a 10" zipper. These cost less than $5.00 a piece. The most important thing to understand when purchasing a zipper at your local fabric store is to get one that that is called a "seperating zipper".

    Next you want to pin the zipper in place of the seam you just ripped out and sew it on. This was my first time sewing a zipper and I found it was very easy to do this. Repeat the process for the second Passenger Puff.

    Will they fit the RT? How about the new ST? Will they void the warranty? Do the have to be removed so the dealer will work on my Spyder?

    Seriously,that's quite an idea. Do I see a new sponsor?

    Surely you aren't seriously considering pushing your lovely wife off your bike??? Do you know how many guys on here would volunteer to pick Holly up??? Shame on you!

    Your solution looks interesting. The picture of you sewing was worth $5! (just kidding...no money will change hands!)

    If you'd just buy her an RT with heated grips you wouldn't have to invent things...you'd have more time to ride!

    And right here, Spyder fans, is the only solution that makes any sense. Sell the sewing machine, use the money for a down payment and do this right!

    Nice mod, now to figure out how add heating in them. Of course if you got an RT you could get heated rear passenger grips

    but nice mod with the sewing machine

    How do you keep coming up with all of this brilliant ?
    It actually makes sense (Other than dumping Holly off the back of the bike anyway!)
    You must secretly be a multigazzillionaire from selling stuff like this!

    I guess people can't wrap thier head around the fact when riding below 30 degrees just wearing gloves is not enough. My bad....... I thought there were more cold temp riders on this forum.

    I think it's a great idea and highly commend you on your Yankee ingenuity!

    Plus any guy that has the corleones to post a photo of himself sewing on a motorcycle forum is number one in my book!

    I think it is a great idea! I would slide a hand warmer in there or make pocket for the hand warmer. They last for hours and would make them nice and toasty!

    Maybe a pouch can be incorporated within it for the handwarmers?
