Default Calibikerclub lower fairings

Saw these on eBay today. Lower fairings. Don't know anything about Calibiker club. Has anybody tried these? Seem pretty cheap at $125.

Those look like the cheap Mutazu style lowers that are all over ebay. Unless you have a black bike and don't need to paint them, buy MOCO lowers. Once you factor in paint work, you might as well get the good ones used. If you need black and are gonna' just slap them on as is, OK.


I installed those (or similar to those) on my Road King and the mounts are cracking at the stress point. I used only their supplied hardware and followed the hilarious Youtube instruction video. They still cracked. They look fine, but the vents loosen up constantly, and rattle as well.

My thoughts exactly!!!

OP, are you dead set on hard lowers? Why not soft lowers that can be taken off and on easily at a fraction of the cost?

I shopped all that stuff for weeks before pulling the trigger. I just couldn't bring myself to buy the cheap knockoff stuff. There are reviews all over the place one the cheapos and it seems to me that you just don't know what your gunna get with them. I ended up finding a deal on a set of he lowers new in primer. I was intending on installing speakers so I just priced them together with all he stuff and sent them out for paint. My bike is black so the cheapos would have been easy, I just didn't want shatty parts.

I bought a set, my old bike was black, same thing happened, one cracked at the lower mounting point and the vents would not stay put and rattle, one of the doors fell off also, you get what you pay for......

What everyone else said, cheap. I just bought a set of HD painted lowers, Manchester HD had the best price even with shipping, had them in 3 weeks.

If you're decent with a wrench, the cheap ones are fine, you just have to be able to fix em up, there's a few posts on here explaining how to do it
