Default soft lower
How much do the soft leather lowers help during winter riding say around low 30's.
Thanks

Jack used them when I had my Electraglide and they helped quite a bit. Easy on and off and inexpensive.

I liked them well enough to buy hard lowers after a few cold days and some rain. The soft lowers are very handy to have.

I must be getting old, because I have caught myself looking at them lately.

I just got a set and they definetly help extend the ride. Blocks the wind
from hitting your feet. Which for me is the hardest body part to keep
warm when it's freezing.
For $39 what the hell, and you can also take em off
and on in no time.
