I added a pair of Road Glide lowers to my 1993 FLHS. I bought them at a swap meet for about $150. They were black with pinstriping and had some real rough spots. I paid a local guy to color match them to my bike, and I rigged up a mounting system that allowed me to put them on or take them off in about 10 minutes. It was well worth it. They made a world of difference in the spring and fall when it was cold. Don't worry about a perfect paint job either. Lowers will naturally pick up chips, tar, and all kinds of crap in no time.

I have had both the imports and now have the real HD ones. The imports are nice but i like the real deal better, they are flat out made to a higher degree. I have a 35k scotter and having the imports on was fine but they are different from the factory ones and the Harley lowers just look and make me feel better for some reason.

I just got the vented lowers from fairing factory, they are exact in every way to the HD vented lowers... only difference is the price.

I'm very happy with them!

if you guys don't want to buy knock off parts then don't... I don't have a lot of money to spend, so I have to spend it wisely.
for me, the $299.00 I spent was well worth it...

I rode without them for a couple of years on my 1995 Electra Glide. I put some H-D lowers on. Took me about 1/2 hour to install. I never took them off again. I believe that they extended my riding time by about a month in both spring and fall.

Other than my test rides I can't offer much about the efect they have but they look cool as hell! They are HD made. I'll know more in Spring when I break her out!

Two weeks isn't a bad wait time for color-matched parts... who did you order from? LSHD1, Chicago HD, Zanottis?
