Lower Fairings on a Road Glide - Your Experience?

Need some advice on putting lowers on a Road Glide. I was able to pick up a set of lower fairings for a RG. My RG is a 2007. The fairings I picked up are for a 2000 RG. I know that in 2004 some changes were made and there is a different part # listed for the fairings pre-04 and post 04. Can anyone tell me the real difference in them? I've held the fairings up and they seem to sit in the proper place on my 07. Can I bolt em right up? Do I need to modify something? Any help is appreciated!

Give it a try it's only three bolts. I think the only change to the newer fairings was the angle. Did you get the crash bar mounts for the lowers to?

I have a set of early fairing's on my 05, fit fine, I think Harley just changes numbers sometimes myself

They give great protection from wind and rain!

Has anyone used fwd controls with the lowers. I was seriously considering lowers for protection / additional speaker mounts but was unsure if the fwd controls would fit.

Thx

The only mounts that I did NOT GET were the ones that bolt to the fairing/crash bar support/mount. Gotta pick up a set of those from the MOCO I guess. Any other experiences??? Thanks to you guys for the advice thus far!

I just picked up the quick disconnect kit for my Ultra. I like the idea of popping them off when it gets really warm. I will say it is a totally different experience riding the Ultra at 80mph without the lowers! I didn't realize how much they really do block the wind.
