never seen anyone with the detatch hardware. hard lowers detatch on and off fairly quick?

 

IMO, the detachable hardware for the lowers is a waste of money. They detach quick enough with the stock hardware. That's just my opinion though.

 

I was wondering the same thing. I bought a set of lowers for my RKC. As soon as they are painted to match, I'll be mounting them.

 

does every one buy harley ones or is there a good aftermarket set? is the vented set worth the money?

 

hawkeye85 - I have the quick detach hardware on my Ultra. It does make the on/off process easier but as dawg says the lowers detach/install pretty quick with the stock hardware. It really depends on how often you plan to remove/install the lowers. I take mine off put them back a few times during the winter riding and rainy season and got tired of messing with the stock p-clip that holds the bottom of the lower to the gaurd bar. I got mine on sale so I'm ok with the cost and would probably buy them again.

 

i also saw these guys make fairing lowers with glove box and also make harley saddle bags anyone heard of them? heres there item on ebay.

From the pics they look like oem lowers. They had the quick hardware in the pics.

 

they state there not oem but after market. i went to there site and they make fairing replacement from harleys to crotch rockets

 

I have factory non-vented lowers on my '09 RG - takes me longer to gather the tools and lay out a towel than it does to install/remove - less than 10 minutes for both sides. They have been on/off over a dozen times since the bike was new.

 

Forgot to mention I also have glove boxes installed - makes the upper screw a bit more interesting to get to - I use a small piece of electrical tape to hold the screw to the phillips head driver during install...
