if they're actual HD ones, they usually sell for around $200 on ebay.

I got my e-bay lowers in yesterday, $52 shipped on sale. They are painted gloss black and made by Hug Flight a Chinese company. UPS shipped and they were packed very well. First thing I did was look them over and they look good but the paint does have a few very minor blems but nothing critical and I am putting them on a 11 year old bike. They came assembled but I did unscrew the doors and readjusted them as they didn't close properly, work fine now. I put them on my black 2004 Electra Glide today and they matched the paint perfectly. I bought the parts to install them at ACE hardware for $5.00 and installation was easy. I did a test ride and everything was good to go. For $52 I think they are a bargain but time will tell if they hold up.

I found mine rattled a bit, due to the caps not tightening down enough to grab the bar. I put a piece of rubber splcing tape onto the caps cutouts, and that gave it just enough grip

I forgot to say that but I did basically the same thing.

Do these help at all with the buffeting on a Street Glide?

On my Electra Glide I had the chrome fork mounted wind deflectors that attach to the front forks. I couldn't use them and these lowers as they would hit the lowers. I noticed when riding with just the lowers that I got more buffeting than I got with the fork mounted wind deflectors. The lowers help some but don't prevent buffeting. I'm going to figure out how to use both if that's possible.

These are the fork mounted wind deflectors I'm talking about http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...20-57400146--1

They do help the buffeting, but its still there, just a different frequency. I need to spend more highway time with em before I can make a good judgement

Fixed my chrome fork mounted wind deflectors, just had to bend them a little bit.

I found the secret to the buffetting was to add on the fairing extensions (elphant ears). Once I put those on, everything smoothed out.

New problem though, my gas mileage dropped a solid 5mpg with the lowers,lol
