I am thinking of getting a set of HD soft lowers for my highway bars to keep the rain from splashing up.

Can anyone that has them tell me if the plastic insert scratches your highway bar? How do they fit and how well do they work?

 

I'm not sure what plastic inserts you are speaking of.
Perhaps I have a different model than you're looking at.

Also, I seem to recall reading not to use them when temps are above 60 dgrees

 

The ones for the Softail have a plastic panel that keeps them stiff and stops them from flapping around. I looked at a set tonight, but not sure if they will scratch the heck out of my black highway bars.

They will only be used when riding in the rain and up north here we do not get temperatures like the southern states.

From the HD site:

Extend your riding season. Full coverage Soft Lowers provide wind and mud protection for the rider's legs and boots and minimize cold updrafts as the weather changes. Covers are custom shaped to hug the engine guard to minimize flapping and they simply clip in place for speedy installation as the weather changes. Two-way zippered outer edge accommodates guard-mounted highway pegs in almost any position. Reflective piping provides added visibility and the rigid inner panel provides ample clearance around the foot controls.

 

I have the moustache engine guard for my bike. I use this brand of engine lowers, since HD does not make a set for that bar.

I have had them for two years, no issue with them at all.

 

Does any body use the HD Soft lowers on a Fat Boy or Fat Boy Lo?

 

They should not scratch the bars. BTW I have some for sale.

 

Thanks for the reply!

I would buy them from you, but Unfortunately it is not worth it for either of us due to the dollar difference and shipping.

Why are you selling them?
