to my eye, the over-all profile of the batwing bike with out tour pak is a large teardrop shape, the fairing lowers help to complete that look by filling the area between the frame and forks with body color. balancing the top and bottom.
in practice the fairing lowers are comfy and provide some storage or speaker mounts, and my testing shows my oil temps drop with the lowers on ( 105ş day).
I bought mine through an online dealer, so 20% off- I wish I could have found a used set but no luck. The ebay knock off stuff i wouldn;t bother with.
factory color matching is perfect
Dont have pics handy but I added them on my SG. Wish I would have done it sooner. Love them. I got mine thru Lake Shore Harley. Lshd1.com. $529 color matched. Heard alot of bad review ls on the knock offs. Not worth save'n $100 to get a lesser quality part in my opinion.
I got my Big Blue Pearl ones from LSHD1 as well, took about 3 weeks. They'll tell you 6 - 8 weeks, and I've read it all has to do with when HD is spraying which color in production.
