The Desert Dawgs don't seem to have any effect on oil temps and still get the job done.
I was gonna point that out too.

H-D is clearly concerned about not enough air getting to the furnace. I think the Desert Dawgs block the smallest amount of air possible.

I have the HD soft lowers too. Not too expensive! I like the way they look on the bike. Plus with the HD Logo, I don't have to worry about warranty issues...LOL
