Amazon is where I got lowers for my 2011. They come with the solid covers where the radiator would have gone, so for summer riding I removed those and put grills in place. One of the best $100 I spent on that bike, and it gave me two cubbies for storage!

I have not experienced this with my previous Harleys anybody else having this problem and if so, what are you doing? I noticed that the front fender is significantly shorter probably due to the cooling system.

They’ve got to come out with lowers in 2025 right? That’s gonna be my first purchase if you can’t even get them.

iMO, they need horizontal ***** Wings under the lower tank edge.
