I have a 04 RKC, and I'm wanting to change to chrome lowers and boot covers. Thinking Harley chrome lowers or is their anything better?

much better and cheaper on the aftermarket.

I suggest willyshiny.com for less than $200 exchanged, you get lowers that are much better quality than hd. hd does not prep the lower all the way around, they leave the portion that faces into the wheel rough and just chromes over that. ***** shiny will machine the entire surface so that it is smooth all the way around.

Plenty better. When you chrome your lowers, you just have your same ugly lowers, only chrome.

Ness Hot Legs look great, no hideous axle bolt. Also consider monotubes while you're at it.
