I admit i got the lowers because i thought they made the street glide look cool. Gives the bike a fat low look. i don't think i would call it bad *** tho. I do love the wind protection and the glove box storage

^^^ that.
For me, function comes before fashion. Lowers provide me rain protection and cold weather protection. Living in Iowa, without lowers would minimize my riding season.(at least comfortably)

Holy crap that's a beautiful bike! It's eye candy I tell you! Haha! I got my lowers for wind protection primarily. I lived in Wyoming for 12 years and going into winds of between 40-50 mph will beat the hell out of you.

I took mine off the other day since I had to remove one side to do my head pipe install. I do not like the way the bike looks without them on. I would have to change the crash bars for it to look right.

You need to add a poll category..."Functional."
It's not about being bad-a, or geeky...mine never come off b/c they're (1) added leg protection, (2) added storage, & (3) wind deflection.

I am undecided. I bought a set for my RK to help with winter riding. I really can't tell much difference, maybe because of just having a windshield instead of a fairing, just not sure.
Rarelly is the windshield on but I plan on buying a fairing before next winter so the lowers will get one more shot at impressing me.
