Default Heritage lowers
New to Harley, this is my first, a 2019 Heritage. This won’t be my last. So, here’s my problem. I have a pretty good sized beard, that I’m not crazy about trimming. Would lowers reduce the amount of turbulence that comes up from the tank? That could save me some post ride painful grooming. And I’m a wuss.

I trimmed my beard since it was tickling my nose when I rode. I can only imagine what it's like riding with a really long beard.

Yeah, combing out those knots isn’t fun. There are other things I could do, like, braiding or using a hair tie or tucking it in my jacket. But, I’m lazy.

I did. https://www.jescustomaccents.com/ Very nice. I got the black ones to match the bike. Reduced the buffeting from the tank about 90%.
