No they arent. These lowers sit forward and of the engine guard and are taller unlike Harleys lowers which sit closer to the motor and not as high.

My hope is the design of these will make the trike a little bit more aero dynamic when riding to cut down the wind drag from the forward rear fender face of the trike body.

The reviews I read from other Roadglide owners who have these say they get less buffeting and the Roadglide feel more stable while riding. While still allowing air to flow to the motor and not close in on the motor as well. All of the riders who have these Hogg Chopps say they leave them on all year and dont feel the bike is any hotter with them on. I will know when it get warm this spring

Default Cool

But I'm already a little hot, I am going to have to take my lowers off if I don't get this oven cooled down a little.
