NON-VENTED lower fairing
Found a great deal on a new pair of non vented lower fairings, same color as my bike with all the hardware, do you think this would interfere with the air flow to the engine? I have a pair of the slip on lower fairing covers, witch I hate, and info with them said not to use in temps above 50 degrees, isn't this kinda the same thing? Just asking.

I had the non vented ones on my 2002 Ultra and the vented ones on my 2007 Ultra. The non vented can be pretty hot in the summer. Some guys take them off then. I never did but one time and put them right back on because of the wind whipping my pant legs, and air coming up from under the batwing fairing.
On the 2007 Ultra, I run the vents closed in the cooler months, which keeps my legs warmer and wide open in the summer letting more air get to the engine and letting my legs stay cooler. We get 100+degree days July through September.
If you have the option, I would go for the vented which gives you the best of both worlds.

Both Vented and Non-Vented Lowers direct the air flow to the motor. They do not block motor cooling. The main difference is the Non-Vented trap air around the rider. This is great in the cooler months. But can be Hell in the heat of summer.
I have the Non-Vented FLT Lowers on my '09 Road Glide. I also had them on my 1989 and 1998 Ultra. At first I removed the Lowers in the summer. But this was a problem when it rained because I had gotten used to the Lowers blocking the rain when they were installed. So I found, and installed aftermarket vents. It gives me the protection I want but allows me to use the vents during the warmer days. And the Non-Vented Lowers were lower in cost than the Vented Lowers. It is the best of both worlds.

as said above you can turn no vented to vented if its a grate deal why not try them the way they are you can and the vents later the non vented are shaped differnt and block more air that is nice in cooler weather they are held on with only 3 bolts so on and off is really no big deal I thank a Ultra looks funny without them HD does make a quick detachable kit you can remove the lowers without tools but only 3 bolts ahh why bother
