Will the new curved ones work with lowers? I had the old style, but had to take them off when I put the lowers on.

Default Another option to block rain, wind, and bugs

For a really easy solution (no install and easily removeable when you don't want to use them: You could check out the Desert Dawgs/Digits rain & wind deflectors. On most bikes, they will block out a high percentage of the updrafts. Made in the USA, they look classic - and they're $10 off most styles right now. http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/harl...n-rain-guards/

These work well enough on my Road King that I don't mind the look.

The new curved ones will not work with lowers but without they work pretty damn good IMO. I even like how they look.

Installed them on my 14 SGS with lowers and DO NOT hit the lowers

I you leave your handlebars straight when you park it you are right. If you turn it all the way left it comes within a 1/2 inch of the engine guards.

I forget what brand these are but they work great to help with wind buffeting.
I kinda like the look of the HD ones as well but wont trade out at this point.
I just swapped out lower legs for powder coated black and think the chrome wind deflectors contrast nicely with it.
