I run my soft lowers, dog dish, fangs and recurve LRS windshield. Yeah, it's a lot of bolt on accessories, but I couldn't be happier with PERFECT clean air. I'm like, wow...
who'd of thunk it.

Has anyone used the ebay lowers offered by tcmtmotors? They look good and have a decent price.

I have a roadglide ultra. I live in Florida so for most of the year I could remove them. I put the Harley quick disconnect kit on my lowers so it only takes ten minutes to install or remove them. I find that’s I keep them on 1/2 the time. I have an old air dam that is installed when I have them off. Greatly reduces wind from under the tank.
Harley, years ago, said do not install air dam with lowers installed. So when I install my lowers, I remove the air dam and install the two plastic paddle looking things that came with the bike.

i love the lowers when riding in the rain or cold wx. I like the wind on a warm day. The quick disconnect kit works well for me

Got my low cost version on Amazon 2 years ago, pretty sure they are all made by same company and sold through different online sellers. My bike is a 2013 vivid black FLHTC and the glossy black lowers are a perfect match. I took the doors off and leave on year round. Great value and looks good plus didn't feel guilty when modified the upper portion when added additional speakers

Went on a long ride yesterday without lowers, took a pounding from the wind. I was beat after 120 miles. Cleaned them up and put them back on this morning. Amazing how spoiled you can get in such a short time.

Thanks for the tip, I emailed them to see if they offer a color match of the suede blue, don't know how good all black would look, although the soft lowers are black. We'll see what Advanblack says.

I came from a 2012 Kawasaki Nomad. The tank was *significantly* wider. With the wide tank, my floorboards were also farther apart. I notice that with how close together my feet are, on the HD, my legs get worn out much quicker. I have been looking at the adapters to widen my 'stance'.

My bike has enough black that the black lowers worked. I think they look awesome against all the black accents I have.

not a huge demand for suede blue. though my wife still misses her suede blue roadking custom. if they can't do the blue, i think the black would look just fine as well.
