    Because they're cool looking.

    No disrespect to the OP or Rybo... I just couldn't resist.

    I do like the look of them and they are functional. Plus my leathers are pretty plain. Of like that to add some depth and Id also like to get some other stitching done.

    Have you seen my boke. clearly nothing is to be left unchanged

    The reason I ask is that the aero hump really isn't all that functional. It doesn't greatly improve aerodynamics and it can be the cause of further injury because of the additional pressure on the cervical spine in some crashes.

    That being said Nate Butler is local and does really nice leather work. you can reach him at seven 20-243-2059

    Well, wouldn't it ADD to the protection? If it's CE type foam, wouldn't that help? I've seen them, and wondered myself if there'd been any studies done. Rossi and Spies use them, don't they? Hmmmm......
