When i ordered my 14 sg I ordered the lowers with speakers. Love them Plus the bike is Daytona blue pearl so aftermarket paint is out of the question.

Thanks for the link. Exactly what I am looking for . Wondering how I will cut off the 2" of excess not needed for the RGS. Kind of worried about cracking the paint job.

Tape it off with painter or masking tape prior to cutting and it should be fine.

I'm going to put them on my 14 SG. I had my inner fairing painted to match and I have a hard to match color (Big Pearl Blue) and it didn't come out right. I have the pearl and the metal flake and like the Daytona Blue, it's hard to get it right. I'm disappointed with my paint job so I'm going to buy from Harley and just go with their color shop and get it right the first time. Although, if you have an easy to match paint, the aftermarket lowers look good to me and it's looking like you can save a lot of money and not have to spend $700! Oh, and the Harley newer lowers (for our Rushmores) come with better hinged spring loaded doors - not the snaps or magnets.

What do you have to cut off? If you click on "Shop By Bike" in the menu up top, They advertise lowers listed for your bike in this link here: https://hogworkz.com/by-harley/road-...r-matched.html

There is definitely a small cutting modification needed for the newer Roadglides. The older glides need the fairing raised up along with the trim job.

Ah... I see that now. Interesting. Funny how they do not mention that on their website!
