So I bought the cheap lower farings off ebay for my FLHT. I am happy with them, but there is a lot of discussion about the overpriced mounting bracket kits. I came up with a $5 solution. I bought 2 split ring hangers,4 washers and two 3/8" bolts from Lowes for less than five dollars. Works perfectly!

 

Brilliant!

 

They may be talking about the quick disconnect kit for the lowers

 

Yeah, probably, but the cheap vinyl coated strap hanger style ones are teh suck!

He's got a great alternative

Obviously the $1.71 price didn't compute through the Lowe's register ... You didn't tell them it was for an "H.D." did you :>) Good resolve!

 

How is the quality of the eBay lowers? I've been debating them.

 

the ebay lowers are decent. you will probably have to tweak them to keep the vents from rattling or breaking loose (cheap plastic hardware) some people have issues with the mounting points for them cracking, others have used them for years with no problems. personallly i think its well worth the money for the vivid black set

 

I had to do a little grinding to clear the left foot board but other than that, they look great. To buy painted anything under $100 is pretty impressive. Just make sure you do not buy the unpainted ones by mistake.

These are the ones I bought.

Thanks, I may try them and see what I think.


I'm already watching those in My eBay. Glad to hear a good review on them.
