there are too many differences to list between ultra and street glide even with lowers. not a good comparison. seat, suspension, floorboards, gauges backface to mention just a few.

I like the concept, I demo'd a 11 CVO Street Glide and kept getting my big feet caught on them. I think it is just an adjustment to my RK.

I like the look and functionality of the lowers. I like them so much that I just bought a set for my RK. Unfortunately, they don't fit correctly with my SG turn signals. Does anyone know if there is any down side to trimming the lowers to make them fit with the SG signals? Is there another set that I should have bought? I bought a set of non-vented lowers. I don't want to hack away and make them worthless if removing the parts that interfere with steering would have a bad outcome. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread, but it seems that a lot of you have the lowers on your SG's and I need to make a decision. PM is preferred so as to not interfere with the original post.

Thanks.

To me they loOK ok, but not good enough to purchase a set myself. I like the sleek look of the SG. I think if I ever decide to get a nice stereo system, I may get a set of lowers just to add the speakers.

I saw one picture of the lowers on with the heavy breather... I would assume that this is ok? Or does it block the air flow into he breather?

I agree with Primo. To me, the SG is all about sleek and stripped. No tour packs, luggage racks, lower fairings or 12" windshields for me. Hell, I even took off the highway bars because I like the bike with even less "crap" on it.

They came with the bike on my '06 SG. I didn't put em on because of looks, but when I finally did....they never came off. Then the detachable tour pack was next....but that did come off when the ol lady wasn't on the back.
