I have vented lowers on my SG
I like them and I don't take them off
& I ride every day provided there is no white stuff on the ground since I brought her home in May 09

I bought a set of lowers one year without the vents. I rattle canned them in 2010 for sturgis and yellowstone. In 2011 I added the vents, another Hundred Dollars. I have been pretty happy with them. I took them off in the summer 0f 2011, and have found that its just as easy to keep them on.

Thinking about adding speakers, but then I would probably want an amp, and the 107 kit is the next mod!

Damn! What luck man...I have been cruising craigslist for saddlebag speaker lids BUT, I now think that the money would be better spent on some lowers with speakers. I ride year round and the winters arent bad but they will definitely help keep the cold off. POST SOME PICS WHEN INSTALLED!

Well, I just ordered my set as well with speaker pods and they will be here on Friday. Now I need to find me an amp and some 6.5" speakers to get some sound in the lowers.

Does the Streetglide have a second set of channels to power the lowers for now or am I stuck having to get an amp?
