Other than slow speed maneuvers in parking lots, not a lot of difference.

I have always taken the TP off of my Touring Harley's that had them. (2)
I only have around 100,000 miles on Touring Harley's, so riding
them bare is noticeable when; turning quickly because I passed a road I might
want to travel to see where it goes, (road turn) or just cruising.
The extra weight of the TP and Lowers is noticeable to me when they are off.
Also, it is easier to maneuver the bike in hotel/restaurant parking lots and around in
the downstairs at home.
I've been hurt and had Heart surgery, so it's better for me with these items off.
Besides as it's been stated; the bike looks better nekkid...........
