PapaTravis,
yes i have highway pegs on my bike

 

I added some to my bike and enjoy them. I find myself keeping my legs on the hwy pegs most of the time in the summer anyways to allow the airflow to keep me cooler regardless of the the lower being installed or not.

 

Just added a pair of vented lowers to my Street Glide and love 'em. You'll still get some air turbulence bouncing off your knee caps but it will be much less than what you're experiencing now. With open vents you still get plenty of air around your legs and around the motor. In fact, I kept pretty close track of myoil temps before I installed them and then again after they were added. No difference to speak of, probably because when the vents are open the air is funneled right to the motor.

 

i found a set at a swapmeet. $100 for both lowers and all the hardware.one was black and the other one blue. went to the hardware store and bought a rattle can krylon gloss black to paint the blue one. been on the bike for over ten years. i won't take them off.

 

I took mine off for about 30 miles and put them right back on. Heat has only been an issue on slow putt putt rides on real hot days. I figure that's a sign to ride a little faster.

 

Put a set of vented lowers on my 05 RK.Great for riding in the fall and spring.Give you a lot of wind protection and water protection while still channeling cool air to the mtr.I take mine off when the temps reach the 80's for the summer though.I haven't noticed any heat build up with them on,just protection from the elements.

 

Well......... this many replies and all positive as well. Thanks !

I just placed my order for vented lowers with Zanotti's,john says 2-4 week lead time on them coming from harley color matched to my bike,I'm looking forward to putting them on when they arrive.

Thanks again for all the replies

 

I put mine on and they won't come off till I paint them, highway pegs take care of the heat and really on the roady it doesn't seem that bad.

 

I put lowers on my classic and i love them. I never take them off. Hot days i just kick my feet over the edge of the boards to get some air up my legs. Keeps you dryer when it rains also.

 

Had them on my Ultra when I bought it and never take them off. Way more comfort when riding in cold or rain, no more heat than my sporty, even on a hot day.
