Well temps are dropping, looking at getting some lowers for my road glide. I don't have any cold weather gear so I was thinking lowers with chaps and riding jeans should allow me to ride when it's in the upper 30s or lower 40s, and they keep A lot of rain off you should you get caught in it.

Anyways, anyone running the hog works lowers? Should I spend the dough on the HD ones? The HD ones are like 700 bucks and the hog works ones are 300 for vivid black ones. Or should I just get some soft lowers? I don't like how those look but they sound like their effective and are easy to remove.

 

Don't use lowers enough to drop big bucks on them so I figured I would try the soft lowers for like $80. To my surprise they work fine for me, granted I'm not riding in fridged conditions but for what I need they are good enough.
Only use them for a few weeks out of the year, late fall and early spring. Don't ride in Chicago winters

 

I recently went through this and ended up with ordering the Hog Workz lowers. Since I had to get them painted to match, it wasn't quite as cost effective as it would be for you, but I highly recommend them.

 

How about the Advan Black lowers? You can get them painted to match most colours and not a bad price.

 

I bought the knock-off knock-offs on ebay for $62.00 and they work great. Paint was great and they even came with all the installation hardware.

 

Looks like the hog works and the advan black lowers are 300 bucks in vivid black for the road glide

 

Advan Blacks lowers are a exact duplicate of HD lowers.I have had two sets,one in Vivid Black and one on Velocity Red Sunglow and paint is a perfect match.
