Fairing lower confusion

I'm looking to add a set of fairing lowers to my 07 SG and just realized I'm confused. I've been looking on ebay and other sites and realize there are two types of lowers besides vented and non vented. Some I've seen have a large cap at the top that goes around the engine guard and others have a much smaller cap that goes around the guard. Can someone tell me what the difference is and most importantly which one ,if not both, will fit my SG.

Oh and if you have a set of vented lowers you are looking to get rid of let me know.

Thanks

RE: Fairing lower confusion

There are lowers for the touring bikes, vented and non vented. All the new ones are vented except specific lowers designed for the Road Glide, which I own, and come non vented.

If you buy a new set you want then vented. If you buy and old pair you can buy vents for them from Hoppe Industries. I put a set of their vents in my old RKC and they worked great.

Good, luck, but I love the lowers and you will too.

The short topped lowers are to clear the road glide fairing (I think) but you can use either on your SG

NYYanks:

I found this info on the HD site under the Color Shop section of Accessories for the 2007 Street Glide: The primed vented lower fairing part no is 58854-05 (pic below with the large knee cap) and the primed non-vented part no is 58830-88 (pic below with the small knee cap). Hope this helps.
