Default Do soft lowers keep you warmer?
Hey Guys, I'm on a 07 RG and considering getting a set of HD soft lowers. Will they make a difference in cold weather?

Lowers are going to help take some of the air off your legs. Anything that impedes the air flow from hitting you is going to help you stay a little warmer. Eventually the air temperature is going to get you regardless, so you'll still want them longjohns for when it's really cold out.

yes they help. I was given a set from a friend who had to sell his bike and I used them in 40 degree weather. let me tell you, they do help. So you being in Tn you can ride more with them.

They make a big difference for the rider, and even for the passenger according to my wife.
