Default fitting touring knockoff lowers?

so i have a set of touring lowers from ebay that i used on my road king.

i would like to fit them to a crash bar on my dyna.

i have searched and found some used a touring crash bar and some used other models crash bars.

so what model and year should i be looking for. can i just buy any touring model bar. maybe i just pick up a 2004 road king crash bar like i previously had.

what about how it mounts. whats compatible?

not sure if the touring bar could be made to fit but I have the dyna bar and I bought some 95 ultra lowers and trimmed the inside edge and cut a pie shape in lower part to clear bracket, they have been used for cold weather months for the past 3 winters

I installed these eBay lowers this year and only had to trim the bottom to clear the bracket on a standard dyna crash bar.

can you add some more photos? how well do the vents work? I have a set of these sitting in my garage right now, they are the aftermarket units sold on ebay but seem to be pretty well made

The vents works well and are easy to open and close with a **** just under the glove box section. I took them out for the summer because they interfere with my feet a little bit when fully open. They actually do a pretty good job of deflecting rain, bugs, and stuff without the vents installed. I wish I could move them about an inch farther forward and then I would leave the vents in full time. Plus I would also do a better job of cutting around the crash bar mount if I could do it again. The quality is good, but they are inexpensive ABS plastic.

I had to notch my bottoms also on the 95 ultra set, basically just cut a rounded pie shaped wedge.. so the bottom is all you had to cut and everything else fit?

Yep, they bolt right up with no other mods except notching the bottom. I even bought the quick release hardware, but I like the lowers so much I never take them off.
