You can tell a big difference with and w/o in the winter with lowers.

You run the Hogg Chopps, I presume... My buddy has a UC, and say his legs and feet still get damp, as I don't know of any lowers will eliminate water all together, but I would like to eliminate as much as I can...

The hog chopps look cool, I have been thinking of getting a set for my RKC, I have soft lowers on it now, they keep most all of the cold away from my feet, went for a ride today, my head got way cold, but my feet, in tennis shoes stayed nice and tosty, how well do the hogg chopps work for that?
Thanks
Terry

Edited to say: Never mind I thought I had read all of the posts, but I guess I missed a page.
THanks anyway

When you see how the front fender has to clear them on a left or right turn you'll understand the design better.
