I just installed my Hogg Chopps and I am happy with them. Some things to be aware of are:

They, IMO, look unfinished as they come. I added some chrome trim around the edges and think the trim does a good job of finishing the look.
The color match is good, at least with the Pearl Black, but the color match paint is only on the front half. The inside is a flat black color. If your cycle is a color other than black, you may not like how it looks. If you asked them (call and ask of Andy) to paint the inside the same as the outside, they will do it for an extra $75. If you’re looking for a sharp look, I would recommend doing this.
The Hogg Chopps mount on to the front of the engine guard which puts them well out in front of the rider. I feet don’t get claustrophobia from being enclosed in the lower fairing as they did when testing out the H-D brand.
They don’t block the wind flow pass the motor, there’s plenty of air passing across the engine. If you’re looking for a big reduction of wind on your legs, you might not like them; there is a reduction, especially if you’re using the highway pegs, but if your feet are on the floorboards your will still feel the wind on your legs.
Lastly a glove box option is not available. They discontinued it. There is still a url out there, but ignore it.
They’re easy to install if you have the correct tools. I am no mechanic so if I can do it, anyone can.

This thread show nicely what they look like out of the box.

Overall I am happy with them. I purchased them more for styling than function and with the slight changes I made, they deliver what I wanted.
