I have always removed mine in the summer here in Fla. They do help keep the shins drier in a rain storm but that's about it... One or should I say 2 more things to wash and polish.

I have a 2000 Ultra and I never have the lowers off.

THe 2000's didn't have the air vents but I installed a set of Houge's on mine and you can definitely feel the difference when they're open in hot or cold weather.

I leave mine on year round and probably have similar temps here that you have there. I bought a classic and added them. Don't regret it and they make rain and cold weather riding more enjoyable... which I get a lot.
