Guaranteed your hands will be hot, not warm, to zero with summer gloves if you use these with heated grips. They are like a little heated room and the grips are the furnace. World Vintage Motorcycles Sales Co. sales@hippohands.com

Cool. (or should I say warm?)
Are those the KLR enduro ones or does the Hippo guy now make Buell specific ones?

I was looking into those last winter.

+1! I just got them as well. The HH/heated grips work great in some of the worst weather that southern Germany has to offer. I used heated gloves for many years, but I wish I'd swapped over to HH and heated grips a long time ago. Quite toasty and dry, and it feels great to wear only normal riding gloves while riding.

Only problem I've had with the HH is keeping the attractive young ladies from swarming me at stops.

These are the dual-sport HHs. They are not Buell-specific, but they fit great. Easier to use than you'd think. Just seconds to install/remove, so you can secure them when parked. Also, they are plenty roomy, so inserting your hand at speed or manipulating the controls is not a problem.

Thats correct. They are the enduro hippo's. Its like they were made specifically for the ULY. Fit is perfect. I am most impressed by the wonderful quality of this product. You can see by the closeup shot how the stitching is perfect and the fit of the Hippo to the bar is perfect. Man, I love em. They are designed to work perfectly with the factory grip deflectors also.
