I am thinking about adding lower fairings with speakers to my flhxs. For those of you that have first hand experience with the aftermarket fairings, could you weigh in on how they are holding up long term? Is any of the aftermarket significantly better then the others? How is the color matched ones in regards to paint quality? My bike is charcoal denim.

 

my ebay vented lowers 08-13 style have been on since last December and are still EXCELLENT.. you can get them for around $55 shipped in black and then another $20 for the QD hardware which is what I used

 

I am going to have a set off of my 2016 SGS, velocity red sunglo for sale. If interested, PM me.

 

I have had two sets of lowers from Advan Black and both were a perfect paint match,one in Vivid black and the other in Velocity Red Sunglow.Fit was good and the Rushmore style is a clone to OEM lowers and all parts interchange.

 

I have the Advan Black Lowers in big blue pearl perfect colour match and fit

 

I read somewhere the advan black have paint durability issues. Have you seen this?

 

I got mine from Fairing Factory (on eBay). Granted they are in Vivid Black, but they have been fantastic. During installation, one of the doors broke at the tack weld. After a quick email, they sent me a complete replacement at no charge within a week. The only negative I could say is that they came with no installation instructions, but it's not rocket surgery. A few Google searches and I was good to go.

 

Yes.

My AdvanBlack were a perfect color match. After 5,000 miles on them, the paint is chipped in many places, where none of the bike parts are chipped. The left vent doesn't operate very well now either. My 2010 HD lowers had 22,000 miles with no significant chipping.

All in all, if I had it to do over, I'd get the HD lowers.

 

HD lowers for me as well. Purchased painted to match from Boardtracker. Expensive but worth it for fit and function IMHO

 

advan black all the way ..... I have them in Amber whiskey with the 6 inch speaker pods for the JM Rokker speakers ... I also have thier saddle bag lid covers with the 5x7 CVO style speaker cut outs ..... Top notch
