I just bought the cheaper version from the HD Catalog ($37 list)...no bar and shield...have HD and the logo enough times on the bike already.

Anyway, figured I could go cheap(er) since they will only be on the bike when its cold (HD says only use when colder than 50 degrees).

It was 48 degrees today and my feet were much warmer than when I rode without them. Easy on and easy off...you do have to stretch them a bit the first time.

I have a 08 RKC and had the soft lowers on in early spring. I just put them on today. They work great.

Had em on for a month now. Temp is usually in the 30's this time of year in the mornings. They cut the cold and reduce the moisture greatly. Have a pair made of vinyl by a local guy up here. On and off the bike in less than a minute

I had a set of soft lowers on my bike Used the like 5 times . Got tired of puttin em on and takin em off. Ordered a set of Vented Hard lowers. Will use them from the fall threw the spring, then take them off.
You need to know what kind of pegs you might put on yer crash bars because the slit on the soft lowers can be a small own or a bigger one.
