Removing the lowers
Being that my 2010 Ultra is my first ever Harley I'm wondering if I should remove the lowers when the weather starts to warm up.
I know that there's a lot of heat that is generated by the bike especially from the cats but my bike has the cats removed. Would the motor be ok with the lowers still on the bike in temps above 80 degrees?

Someone here proved that the engine runs a little cooler with the lowers on, due to then channeling more air to the engine.
The only consideration is your comfort. Personally, I just put my feet on the highway pegs.
This is my bike in the Badlands on a 104 degree day. I was a little warm, but the bike performed like a champ.
