Cool Rg Lowers

Sweeeet
Did you use the normal RG lowers or did you use the Ultra's and do the fairing mod?
Have been procrastinating bewteen the Hogg Chops and the HD lowers. Now that you can use the HD vented like the Ultra I'm tempted to go for those
Love the colour btw

I put the vented HD lowers on my 2010 FLTRX Road Glide Custom, and with the 12" Cee Baileys CVO windshield, the wind buffetting is gone.

Right on. Once you've got the right windshield for you, and then you add lowers, the buffeting is all but gone.

For anyone who cares, here is a link to some pics of the 09 switch to 10 fairing mounts.

He has the RG non-vented lowers on his. You can tell by the shape. Looks real good.

I have been torn between the Hog Chopps, RG lowers and doing the fairing bracket upgrade to allow the vented lowers. Decided if I was gonna spend the money I might as well really want what I am paying for so I am doing the bracket upgrade with the vented lowers.

........... boy, are you gonna enjoy having those lowers !
..... jmo, but i think adding the lowers makes the RG look even more aggressive, more 'forward leaning' than w/o them.

Co-sign on the "More aggressive" look.

The lower fairings are the standard non vented for the Road Glide. The Tour Pac is the Ultra model, I wanted the additional lights. Next up is installing Screaming Eagle compact heavy breather, Screaming Eagle touring mufflers with piston end caps, and Screaming Eagle pro race tuner. Then I should be good to go this summer.
