I was looking at a set of lowers from west end motor sports. Anyone rides these on a sportster. Do they do much for wind on highway riding. Also was looking at maybe getting a crash bar with soft lowers. Any advice. Thanks.

 

Got a link for those? I have the H-D engine guard & soft lowers.

 

I just googled lowers for sportster and westend came up. Not sure how to post links. How is the crash bar with soft lowers work out

 

Engine guard has been on since June, added the soft lowers Saturday.
They don't seem big enough to block much wind.
I might make some from 3/32" black plastic.
Westend sells Memphis Shades lowers, They look even less effective than H-D's.

 

Yea, the ones I saw aren't that big, so I don't know if they're even worth it.

 

I just recently added the Harley Davidson engine guard bars to my 2012 48. I'm not going for the complete "blacked out" look. I prefer some chrome on my bike and I wanted to add the highway pegs so the engine guard was a necessity. I thought about the soft lowers but don't really need them now and they fit this engine guard even with the added highway pegs (supposedly). I like the way it all looks but I do realize this look isn't for everyone. It works for me though.

 

I have the HD highway bars on my 07 sporty custom. I have soft lowers for airlite. It's a company that custom makes soft lowers for most any bike. They are one piece and fit great and work very well. You can check them out at airlite.ca

 

I use Softail Lowers mounted on my QD windshield. Lowers do make quite a difference with wind on the highway.

I actually had to remove them while on vacation this summer, it was too hot, I needed the extra wind.
