..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?
Exactly. Some of it depends on how you use the bike, bar hopping / touring. But as you get smarter (older) comfort becomes more important.
Besides, after a couple hundred mile ride you see how many bugs are on the windshield, fairing and the lowers ? I don't want to carry that much extra weight stuck to me.
Color-matched they look good but I think they take away from the classic look of the RKC. I got a pair of the black fabric lowers that slip and clip onto the crash bar for cold or wet weather, quick on and off and I can leave them in the saddlebag.
