The scoops are to close off the cold air and rain and if there not open in the hot weather you will notice it quickly, your right leg will get hot in a hurry.
Ive road with my brother on his dyna and his knees down will be soaked just if the road is wet and I will be dry with the lowers. I love the lowers and don't understand why not have them.

I read here a while back where some with actual temps reported their bike ran cooler with the factory hard lowers on the bike. I remove mine in the summer for my own comfort.

Lowers year round here. Bike runs hot, lowers or not. Thats the thing about motorcycles, there are explosions happening down there.
I like being hot on a bike, because it means....I'm on my bike.

What I found funny is I have a set of the soft lower that "look" like they would direct a lot of air to the motor but say not to use them in temps above 55 degrees I think. I bought an aftermarket set of vented hard lowers and they block a lot more wind than my soft lowers but they can be used in all temps.
