These are the ones I got, but I can only use them because the ST doesn't have mirrors on the bars, but on the fairing.

I bought my brother a set for Christmas, but when he tried them on his FZ (also mirrors on the fairing) wind pressure above 55 mph pushed the cover into his brake lever and applied some front brake.He has since built a guard to prevent that (sent me pics last night) so I assume on todays ride he will be sporting them
and the original Hippo Hands were made by Craig Vetter and the Vetter Fairing Co. and they indeed went out of business a long time ago. There is a Canadian company making a set called Hippo Hands last time I looked but the quality in not nearly as good as the originals. They use them a lot on snowmobiles I am told...and ATV's
