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
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.

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.
