Default Quick Hogg Chopps question

Was just browsing around their site again deciding if I want to order. I noticed that they actually have two different models listed. One is for FLH and one is for the Road Glide. Is there actually a difference in the two???

From what I understand, the ones for the Glide are modified a little bit to make sure they clear the solid mounted fairing. I'm kind of shopping for some hard lowers as well, and they're hard to find if you're looking for a good used pair. I always seem to be too late on the classifieds here. I'm wondering how good those China made set is that you see on EBay. Wish I could find someone that bought them, and could give us a report. They're exact knockoffs of the Harley OEM's.

Steve call Andy, he is easy to talk to and can explain the differences. Originally his Chopps were made for Road Kings..hence the FLH models. I think the FLTR models are a bit taller to meet the shark nose fairing and are desiggned a slight bit different. I know he explained it to me before I bought mine but ...duh...I forgot what he said exactly.

Thanks Mike. Pretty much just wanted to know if there actually was a difference.

bigskyhd: There are a few threads and members on here with the knock-off lowers. One was pretty recent.

Have you heard my new pipes yet? I haven't seen any comments from you?

Ahh I knew I was forgetting something. I meant to go back after you had the daytime photo posted. Sound pretty good even though it is really hard to tell on 'puter speakers. Did you get the tune yet???

I did talk to the tuner. We are going on vacation next week so it'll have to wait til we get back. I'll trailer it up there and leave it for 2 or 3 days and then get a ride up and ride it home.
