Default Can you change cow bells with lowers on?

Santa brought me some ***** shiny chrome lower legs and gonna get my cowbells painted to match my paint. The problem I am having is that my factory lowers need to be returned and I really don't want to have the bike on the stand until my painter gets the cowbells painted. Will the cowbells pass by the fender mounts and the brake mounts with the lowers mounted?

Here are the instructions for the fork decorative sliders. Maybe this will give you an idea of what you have to have removed.

Sorry to hijack the thread. What do you think of the quality of the ***** Shiny chrome fork legs? I want to buy a set but I don't know who to buy from.

Take off Cow bells are cheap on E-bay, pick up a set have them done, then tear the bike apart.
I just picked up a set for thirty bucks, perfect.

Good point. Here is a set that is pretty cheap because they have some scratches, but your painting so it's ok.

I can't speak to his forks, but I can tell you the work on his wheels is excellent. The owner was a pleasure to work with.
