Default Engine Guard Chaps

Found these on eBay, paid $29.95. Quality custom product with full velcro side closures (no goofy snaps), nicest I have seen, fit like a glove.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to have my fiberglass lowers repainted and heavily cleared over the winter and was looking for an alternate solution to replace them to keep them from getting destroyed by debris.

Seems like a nice substitution.

I drop my hard lowers in the summer and take the soft lowers on trips. To be honest, the soft lowers function very well.

Partner loaned us a set during a recent trip.

Worked great in the cool morning and evening, easy to stow during the warm partions of the day

i love my soft lowers. they deflect major air and you can move freely on the boards even at higway speeds. catchs bugs and rocks and in the rain your lower shins dont get soaked. GREAT in cooler weather or rain. Best gift someone got me for my bike by far

Would it work if you had Fog lights mounted on top of bar. Looks like cutoffs for pegs?..

Would be very simple to make cutouts for your fog lights, then restitch where you cut.

Bought a pair of nylon HD ones at a swap meet for $25. Used to have a studded pair of "Desert Dawgs" on an older one.

Anyone know the PN for the HD ones? And the cost. Are these ebay ones that much better of a deal?

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.
