Its most important to be seen for safety, than be fashionable. Loose the deflectors & lowers if you have too. Go to Cabelas or LLBean and for under $50 get flannel or fleece denim pants and ride at 40 all day long. Just my view...................

i think it looks great. I have soft lowers on my yamaha, nice to have for sure. i have the fork lowers on my harley but i also invested in an electric jacket liner that lets me ride into the fall and winter months. i have a pair of electric chap liners on the way to also take the edge off on those crisp 0300hrs morning rides to work.

Uglified for winter means it is under a bike cover plugged into a battery maintainer. Changing it so you can keep riding, that is a beautiful thing.

The best part is as soon as it warms up you can remove and store the ugly parts for next winter. Once it gets cold here my tour pack, heated seat, 9" windshield and fairing wind deflectors go on. I stay a little warmer and just smile because I can still ride all winter!

I believe anything to extend your riding season is worthwhile.
