Default Kuryakyn vs Custom Dynamics lower fairing lights

I'm considering adding lower fairing run/turn signal lights to my 2020 CVO Limited. I haven't seen either the Kuryakyn or Custom Dynamics versions in person. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with either kit?

Not an answer to your question but IMO the perceived quality of any CD product will be superior to anything kury

No brainer. CD is cheaper. And way better. Plus CD has lifetime warranty and they back there products

is there ANYTHING Kury makes that isn't pure compressed fecal matter out of the box, or turns into Hershey squirts in a few months of use?

Custom Dynamics has a stellar reputation for quality and service.

it is a no brainer

I like the CD ones better and adds lots of lite to the front of the bike. But do they block the vents with a solid plate? Would be to hot around here in the summer. Plus they require use of CD front turn signals.

CD in my opinion. I had one of their turn signals LED’s burn out, simple phone call is all it took and had a new one in the mail. Perfect customer service.

Love my CD after a year of riding. I've had three buddies buy them after seeing mine.

Kury has a love affair with pot metal in their stuff. Wouldn't make fishing weights out their ****.

One of the pictures on the CD product website states that the grill has a "honeycomb pattern for maximum airflow", so it doesn't appear to block the vent. And the Kuryakyn site says it includes a plate that can be inserted to block the vent. So my interpretation is that neither normally block the vent, but the Kuryakyn product includes a plate so you can block it if you want (although not as easily as with the stock lever).

I have experience with CD products and am very happy with both their products and customer service. I also have a Kuryakyn rear license plate holder with LED's...and have no complaints. So I'd say...if being able to block the vent is important...you might want to either call CD or just go with the Kuryakyn product. Otherwise, I'd lean towards the CD product based on price and reputation.

I think the guys here answered your question but I'll add this. In the many years that I've been riding, I have never had success with any products from Kury. Despite their great looking website, they sell inferior made products. Trust me when I say, once you install their products, you're going to wonder why you wasted your money.
