When I had my 04, my wife used some black marine vinyl from a fabric store, with some nylon straps, buckles and snapsbought from the same store and made mea set for under $20. They looked better thanthe HD set and I loved them. Gave them to a bud whenI got the 08 withhard lowers.
The more expensive ones are well worth the difference.
58525-95A
Fits '80-'83 and '88-later FLHT, FLHX and FLHR models without fairing lowers. (Does not fit with Mustache Engine Guard P/N 49155-05).
MSRP US $59.95
Hell there is still 5 days of bidding left on those $40.00 right now knowing the way e-bay goes sometimes someone will pay $100.00 for them by the time it's all over.
Just sayin' the custom eBay chaps I got are much higher quality than the HD chaps. They also have FULL length velcro closures, very heavy material, fit like a glove & have long cutouts for low mounted highway pegs.
I just ordered a set of these last week and am waiting for them to come in! I need something for the early morning commute in SoCal when the temps are in the high 40's and take them off when I get to work for the ride home in the 70 degree temps.
I ordered mine without the cutouts in mine, so maybe that is what's taking a little longer to get them to me.
I'm a pretty savvy bidder, sometimes ya bid early & get a great deal, sometimes ya gotta bail & sometimes ya can squeeze in there in the last few seconds. I would have gone higher with a max bid on these, for sure. Absolutely excellent fit & finish all the way. BTW, I never kiss & tell!$$$
