RE: lowers on road glide
If you are speaking of the air baffle.....I just took mine off and it makes a huge difference on air flow over the rear cylinder head and exhaust in these warmer temps. \\; You'll have more wind in the chest without it but IMO leave it off for now, it makes too much of an improvement in lowering heat with the lowers installed.

I leave the baffle on mine all the time myself, no problems so far! The lowers really helped on my \\;Roady with the wind, nice pocket of air now, \\;I have a large Clearview also, didn't have the lowers with the stock shield so I can't comment on that but I'm pretty sure it would have helped it to! \\; \\;
