3 hours isn't excessive to change out lowers. It's a fairly simple job if you have the right tools and are used to working with seals O-Rings and such, you just have to work super clean and pay attention to what you're doing. check youtube I'm sure there are some videos

My 2014 FLSTFB. They released an all blacked out version a couple years later of course so I can spend a ton of $ on replacement parts... Lower Forks still haven’t been converted because of the added expense. Just want to do that and fork covers... maybe a nacelle headlight. In a perfect world I’d love to swap the rear fender for something more streamlined, but again, that’ll take more $ and time and probably a new seat to be compatible.

Thanks , any head buffeting? I went through 2 windshields and hundreds of dollars still can’t get rid of that head buffeting. I’m almost giving up on even using a windshield.

Yeah, 3 hours sounds just about right. I did mine, had the lowers powder coated and replaced the oil bypass system with progressive cartridges. It wasn't a bad job at all, I probably had 6-7 hours in it, but I'm guessing the dealer would be quicker.

if I tuck my head down in an aggressive position then there isn’t much. If you ride low and have low bars maybe you’ll like them. I’m pretty sure there isn’t a streamlined, good looking, low profile windshield out there that hits all the checkboxes.
