Looking for leather lowers for my heritage. Preferably studded. I seen leather pro doesnt offer them anymore so figured Id make a new thread to discuss other leather studded options or if somebody has a set or know if any are for sale anywhere. Thank you
here are some pictures I found on this forum for reference
Looks like Bluravens bike, I asked the same as you did about a year or so ago, No one makes anything close to what you have pictured there or will you find them for sale - from what I heard when they were offered, they were expensive. the best quality leather lowers I found came from Chilhowee, very nice product - Like you I wish these were still made or at least an option, I actually called leather pro`s to inquire about them & they have no intentions on ever making them - said the time and effort & lack of demand is what caused them to discontinue.
LXT, I seen your reply from older threads. Did some searching and figured it was a long shot. Im thinking about taking a ride to a local upholstery shop and see if I can get something custom made. Even if I can get some better pictures Id be a little further ahead.
None near me - I think most of em are in the Lancaster PA area out East, I wonder if Lutz leather would be able to make these - He does great work (Don)

Youve certainly done your research.
What got me turned onto these were the second set of pictures you posted which if I recall is a bike from the UK.
I believe I purchased the last set of these that Leather Pros sold about 5 years ago.
Funny that LXT chimed in as I have it noted to contact them if I ever decide to sell mine.
If I recall correctly I paid north of $600 for the set which I thought was rather pricey which is why I kept putting off the purchase.
I looked into installing hard lowers which is possible with a modified touring engine guard but I kept coming back to the leather lowers due to the look.
As LXT eluded to I dont think anyone sells anything like these so youre only option is likely the touring hard lowers or have something custom made.
These Leather Pros are basically a plastic base that are wrapped in leather.
I think the challenge would be the plastic base as likely any leather fabricator could likely fabricate the leather wrap.
If you do figure out a way to get these fabricated certainly post it as over the years Ive gotten quite a few inquiries as to where I got mine from.
There is an option that you can consider - I was going to do this but I have the HD fangs on my softail and lock to lock the clearances are close (almost touching) when I put my soft lowers on the fangs actually rest on the lowers which is why i didnt go this route that I am suggesting.
My purpose for lowers was cold weather/ caught in the rain when traveling protection & when summer months come take em off, No tsure how much trouble it is removing the hard style or the ones you have pictured???? But... there is a company called JTD cycle parts that offer hard lowers for Softails, you can color match or what I was going to do was order them in the Black (no finish) and have them leather wrapped as what you are looking for, the price is around $370.00 for the lowers then whatever the cost to Leather wrap??? anyway - I thought this might help. Ive kicked the idea around a couple times but my soft lowers are on & off alot at certain times of year so Ill just keep my set up as is.
