Anyone know if these will fit on a bike with engine guard mounted fog lamps? I am thinking not, but is there a way to modify them so they would?

Thanks

The Harley soft lowers have a cut out midway on the outside edge. That is for the highway pegs, I am guessing. I have the 360 pegs on mine, so I mounted the peg to the soft lower and adjusted them accordingly. I'll snap mine on in a bit and take a photo and post it. I'm not sure about clearance for the fog lamps.

I tried the Harley soft lowers (The ones with the bar and shield logo) but they would not fit over my H-D (Skull) highway pegs and mounts. I will try to get a set of of eBay.

Considering them, but can't mount them with the HD Fog lamps. Hate to lose the light, but would really like the protection. What to do? What to do?

I also got a set of Harley cheapies. Use them in the morning and take them off in the afternoon. Like the other guys say, you're not supposed to use them when the temp. goes above 50. They go off and on quickly.

Find someone who is can sew and I don't think it would be too difficult to put an opening in them for the fog lamps.

i think the slit they have in the side of them is pretty much streight out could depend on what possition you have your pegs or you can open the slit a little until they fit and then put a couple stitches in to keep from tearing them out. just a thought

I use the bar and shield soft lowers too and really like them. 20 mile ride into work this morning dressed business casual with dress shoes in 53 degree weather, mostly highway, stayed comfortably warm.

I had the cheaper HD ones...I don't recommend them...the snaps pulled out the second time I used them...I then returned them for the bar & shield ones. They're well made and work great.
