Installation was fairly straighforward. I'll post a picture in the next day or so. The hand covers are the fancy zebra stripe version, so they're a bit flashy but should improve visibility a bit, so I opted for them. I haven't rode with them yet, but they seem to be very functional.

Cool! I've been thinking about this myself, so I can't wait to see pics and hear what you think!

Cheers!

Love the one I have for my MP3 500. Need to get a patch on one of the air bags, it has a leak. Have to find a Vinyl Patch Kit to fix the thing.

I just installed the TU leg cover myself and have been loving it! I have found myself using the tilt-lock at stops more than usual but otherwise riding is normal and extra cozy! We haven't quite got cold here in the NW so on the rare sunny day it was immediately too warm; but I was pleasantly surprised at the ability to stow it by rolling it up and fastening it close to the leg shield. It is very well designed and customized for the MP3. There is no flapping about even on the highway.

I was worried about the "skirt" factor, but because it is so integrally part of the machine it looks like an extension of the scooter, rather than a ball gown I'm wearing. At least that's what I tell myself. Even if I'm wrong, I'm in Seattle, home of the Utili-Kilt. A man in a skirt doesn't raise an eyebrow.
