Ratman....these are NOT installed on Guido's bars, they are installed on a Fire and Steel engine guard and designed for the factory accessory. You will probably have to have something made for the Guido bar....they are larger diameter tube and different shape.

  I have been looking at thses for awhile now and have not decided if I want them or not, but if they look that good on your Guido bars, then perhaps I should get them. We do get up to at least 40* F in the summer time so might be worth having.

Since the weather does get to at least 40 degrees F now and then over the winter in Maryland, I do get out, so thought I'd invest in some winter gear to keep the wind off my ankles. Looked around and seemed there were only 2 choices, scootworks and the chaps sold on this link, from one of Ratman's fellow countryman to our north:

These are designed for the Fire and Steel engine guard and are made of high quality vinyl. I like that they are open on the outside so you can still see the engine guard (obviously designed to accommodate highway pegs). Good price, good fit, so thought I'd share. The source is currently on vacation as you will note on the website.

This also means I found a black F&S engine guard since Drift-In '14, for those who remember my machine. So I have a black engine guard from Guido I'd be willing to part with if someone is looking for one. Here's a few photos of the chaps installed...
