Thanks for the mention!
We actually made a video showing the assembly steps and our hardware kit:

It might give you a better view of the fairings too. We have had very few issues with the fitment/quality; they fit almost every touring model. The only bike we have trouble with is the FLTR because the crashbars/fairing mount is unique. This has been a very good product for us and we enjoy selling them.

Email sent, and thank you very much for the offer. I'll be more than happy to do a through review of your product. I know many of the members here would love to find a quality, inexpensive alternative to OEM lowers.

I have EBay Chinese ones on my 07. Had them color matched locally, I would say buy the vent door mounting hardware from HD and the loop strap thingy that goes around the crash bar but other than that you can buy the rest from the local hardware store or all of it from the dealer. I am satisfied with mine.

if you are wanting the lowers for protection, an alternative might be the desert dawgs found at http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/soft...king-dressers/. they can go on or off in just a minute and look pretty good and aid in protection from rain and cold. i've run mine during the summer on a 2006 Yami Roadstar with no heat issues. i have a set for my FLHTK when i was thinking about taking off the lowers, but i've kept the lowers on for now.

Hey Kjet, I bought a set from you in January where's my discount!! Just Kidding. I put them on my 06 electra glide and am happy with them so far in cool 5 c weather. Mine are vivid black so did not need to paint. Stealer ship wanted 1000.00 mine arrived around 300.00 Canadian. I wasn't expecting perfection just something to keep me warmer that looked good. Paint quality is fine. For some guys true Harley OEM means everything, not to me. The vented lowers will be worth it mid summer. Cheers

I'll give you a review of these cheapy lowers. Unless you want them to be black, save your money and buy used factory lowers. The hardware that comes with these things is basically unusable, and total garbage. Those that can't make their own hardware, usually wind up buying the factory stuff anyways. The "black" paint isn't even paint. They just flash a coat of clear over the black plastic surface, and call it GLOSS BLACK. These are "you get what you pay for" parts. I even had to make my own rubber shims because the fairings wouldn't completely tighten down over the crash bar, and they were loose and vibrating. And God forbid you ever try to open or close the vents. But that's a story in and of itself! I still have them (see sig pic), and they do work, but given a choice after what I know now, I would have bought used MOCO lowers and painted them. If there's any painting needed, I recommend against these. ONLY if you need direct bolt on black lowers, would I ever think of these, and only because of the price. Here's some pictures of what happened to the mounts on mine. And I used the MUTAZU screws, and followed the youtube video exactly.

Two years ago I bought a set of vivid black lowers from Eastern Performance in Maryland that are very near HD quality. I am very happy with these. They run about $460. The doors are hinged with magnetic catches.
