lower fairings

I added them to my 14 Street Glide for looks and to keep my pants from blowing up, and to keep dry if I am caught in the rain. I also like the way they make the bike look longer and lower, kind of dresses it up like a low rider cars fender skirts or something. The glove boxes are an excellent place to keep my glasses and registration. I took mine off once this summer thinking it may make my ride a little cooler. They were off for two days before they went back on the bike! I ride to work in 70 degree weather with the vents open, and on my way home at 11 o'clock at night I can close the vents when it is only 50-55 degrees out.

I had them on my '06 SG, never took them off until I sold the bike. I then installed them on my '10 EG classic. The EG runs hotter because of the CAT so I remove them during the hot months and put them back on in September. I like the looks of them and the convenience of the glove boxes. I also like how they keep your feet dry and your pants from flapping around!

I have the older version that has no vents. I HAVE NEVER taken them off once I it them.
One thing no mentioned, they do direct fresh air directly to the motor (at least the front head) keeping it cooler in the warmer months.
I feel they complete the look of any ride.

I do like the look---but I'll stick with soft lowers for now. I view lowers as inclement weather gear---like my rain gear thats in my bags. If it's cold, I put them on in about 2 minutes, if there is rain in the forecast, I just throw them on. One day I may go to color matched lowers if I want a "new" looke---but my soft lowers do all I need them to do.
