I always take the lowers off and also the wings on the side of the fairing, noticeable difference for me a lot more air flowing on these dog days of summer. I really don't miss the storage on the fairings myself, If I can't get it in the bags or tour pac I really don't need it

Mine come off as soon as it begins to turn warm sometime in the spring....and in the fall......they come back on.

I don't really miss the extra storage though......as they don't store all that much anyways.

Off in the summer - in Phoenix it's a neccesity. Back on in November when it drops into the 80's LOL

so do i, i found a good product for more air there called freedom wings, they replace the little wings on the fairing, and you can ajust them so they force air to hit your chest, i really like them.

I have the same product, and Harley is now making their own version, which has several different locking positions. The freedom wingsscrews often loosen and the wind will move them, although I now used LocTite and that seems to help.

My lowers and wings usually come off around the first of May and go back on sometime in late October/early November.

For those of you that do take off the lowers seasonally, have you seen these new Motor Accessories?

Detachable Fairing Lower Hardware Kit (58146-07)

Beat the summer heat and prepare for around-town cruising by removing the fairing lowers on your Ultra ClassicÂŽ Electra GlideÂŽ. This kit includes highly polished stainless steel clamps that are detachable without the need for tools.

Soft Storage Bag for Fairing Lowers (95983-07)

Protect your fairing lowers when they are removed for hot weather riding. This convenient storage bag features a heavyweight 10 oz. cotton exterior and sturdy carrying handle. Dual zippers open to expose a soft felt interior with a sturdy divider for left and right lowers, and two zippered pouches for loose hardware storage. A classic embroidered "Bar & Shield" logo adorns the bag's exterior.

I wasn't aware of that but, geez, there's 3 button heads up at the top of the fairing and a nut and bolt on a clamp on the bottom of the fairing - doesn't get much easier than that to remove.

And as for the storage bag - I have a customized storage box. I upgraded to the 4 interlocking flap for easy open/close.

Please don't misinterpret - I'm not attacking your post - it never ceases to amaze me the lengths HD will go to sell you something.

I couldn't get those three "button heads" loose. Is there a trick to it?
