I've never seen them for sale here... Shrug

But then again, I've never looked. Kitkat had some, but I think she might have gotten them from Aero Design

I've always seen them at Cycle Gear.

Reminds me, I should go pick up another pair of rabbit ears. Something inside me is convinced that a LEO would be more lenient on a geared-up girl with bunny ears.

I used to have the cat ears and tail.  It was amazing how many positive impressions they'd make on kids and soccer moms.  Most guys just looked at them as if I was insane.

Do that add any extra helmet noise?
I think they are kinda neet!
and no I have not ever seen them for sale in the Seattle area
If they would be I bet you would see them at the bike show in the fall.

I have a set of the tiger ears and tail.  They didn't seem to add noise but you can feel the wind resistance with the ears.  The tail is pretty much unnoticed.

You do get attention from kids in cars and they in-turn point it out to their parents.  I don't wear mine anymore because the new helmet is matte finish and they don't stick. (just one more reason to dislike the matte finish).

No extra helmet noise.  Just lots of smiles from cagers.

Kinda like the opposite of the cruiser image--how much "tuff biker" can ya hope to pull off while wearing fuzzy animal ears?   Bigsmile

I've got the black dog ears.  First time I wore them, I wait for a pickup to go by before pulling out of my driveway.  The guy in the truck drifts and hits the curb because he's staring at me in his side mirror.  I haven't wore them since.  Though I should wear them on the way down to the WCRM.   Cool

You are probably right.  Bigsmile

Yeah, there are lots of places to buy them online.  I was just sorta trying to give our local folks some business.
