your opinion about the "look" of lower fairings on a RKC?
#12
I didn't use to like them, but now I'm beginning to think they look pretty cool. And I like the idea of the protection in bad weather. But I didn't use to like windshields, saddlebags, fairings, etc.... The older I get, the more things change in the way I perceive different items. Guess it's part of the process. Back in the day when I was riding my old ironhead, I can remember seeing guys cruise by on a tourer all decked out, and I thought, why don't they just get a Cadillac? Any body else out there go through this metamorphosis?

I am not even crazy about the look of them on my Ultra, but on a cold morning, or in the rain, there is nothing better! One of the younger guys at the HD shop wanted to sell me the quick disconnect kit, but since I tend to ride no matter what the weather I can't see myself taking them off.
I think you will be happy with them on!

Same here.
Yep. Bought my 1st H-D - 1995 Low Rider in 2001. I swore I'd never ride a geezer glide. Traded that bike 4 months later in on a 2001 RK, traded that in 2004 on a 2004 EGC & traded that in 2007 on a 2007 EGC. Can't see myself riding anything else for rest of my life.
Well, a trike when I can't hold 2 wheels up.
Brother was same way - Softail Standard - RK - EGC - now has a SG.
