Default Best vents for lower fairing

All y'all that have aftermarket vents in their lowers give me your opinion on how well they work, and how easy they were to install, and any thing I should watch out for. Brand names would help to.
Thanks
Gilbo

The FLTR lower fairing does not have vents. I suppose you could add some flaps or something like the Gold Wing riders do, but you'd be sentenced to Harley-Davidson customizer hell for doing such a thing. Heat is NOT an issue with the lowers, excepting on 100+ degree days, in traffic, at stoplights. Many guys remove their lower fairing from their Ultra's or RoadGlides during the hotter weeks of Summer.

The coolest ones I ever saw were a chrome set of aftermarket ones. I saw them last week at Daytona Harlet Davidson ( the new one off of 95). They were on a display stand. I am sure if you called parts there and tell them they could get you some info. on them.
