harley says 50 degrees, so you have to figure they are being conservative...i take mine off at 60 degrees. if it is raining a lot, you can figure the water is doing some extra cooling to the motor and go higher than that.

[QUOTE="Hurricane19;12487370"]Mine say 55. They work pretty well and I don't wear chaps. Above 55 you really don't need IMO.

Do fairing lowers provide better weather protection than soft lowers?
