Default Who has the best Lower Fairings?

Hey All, Happy New Year!

Looking to add Vivid Black Lower Fairings and considering non HD.
Who has the best? What do you have and how long have you had them?
Are you happy with them?

Thanks,
FWIW, I did do a search and not much good info.

Come on SPRING!!

as far as i've seen, the aftermarket lower fairings are all about the same quality. that is to say, less than hd. but still acceptable. the biggest differences i've noticed is that the glove box on the hd is a rubberized coating, while the aftermarkets are a hard, textured plastic. the hardware is not of the same quality, but that can easily be changed, and the ones that i bought didn't have the 'spring' for the door (they call it a spring, but it's really a rubber bushing, much like riser bushings on handlebars). but, they can be had for way less than hd. and since they're basically to shield your legs from wind, rain, debris, etc. they work just fine for that.

here's a link to the ones i bought. realizing that you probably want the newer style which are a little more expensive.

I have had Advan Black for a year. They have been great. No complaints and the cost for vivid black was relatively cheap, comparatively.
