Soft lowers

I am thinking of buying a set of soft lowers for my Heritage and am wondering if # 1 do they work and #2 are they compatible going on the engine guard if you have a set of hi way pegs installed on the guard?
Thanks

#1--yes
#2--yes

I was on the road when I made my original comment.
To be a little more descriptive; they do block the wind and rain well and they have a slit for highway pegs.

I put mine on last weekend and they will stay on until Spring.
I believe the new model is a little better than what I have.

I've really been wanting a set of Leatherpros lowers but can't seem to part with the money yet.

I had a bagger, yes, I'd have crash bars. It all depends on your setup and what you want to achieve.

The soft lowers work really well in cold conditions.
Your feet will stay totally dry, BUT thighs freeze!
There's a price for all comforts.

Can't say for the highway pegs, I don't have any fitted.

Would I be without mine? No way.
They're an inexpensive, handy accessory.

Will confirm all the above.

As far as freezing thighs, that is what layers are for. I use a skin tight layer, jeans layer, then sweatpants layer. All is good in the warm leg department.
