On the Street glide the clutch cable goes in front of the engine guard so that is not a problem on mine.

On my RK the cable looks exactly the same.

Default Matuza Lowers

I bought my Matuza Vivid Black lowers with the quick release hardware for $199 including shipping here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151143886058...84.m1439.l2649

For under $200 bucks (and no tax) didn't even waste any time getting the hardware elsewhere. Pretty easy to put together just a little like a crossword puzzle since no instructions included. Nice keeping the cold wind off the legs when it gets down into the 50's. All I need since I'll just use them for the winter here in AZ.

Mine too. I've always wondered why they route the clutch cable on the inside of the crash bar on the RK when it is on the outside on other touring models.

Managed to sneak out for a 30 miles spin to see how these performed. Kinda windy here so I couldn't really judge where the wind was coming from, seemed to feel a bit more on the chin/shoulder areas( insert jokes now!!) but I definetly could hear more noise from the engine

Mine rubbed the same way on my RK, so I took the left control off and snaked it around the front of the engine guard. Just a couple torx screws on the control and the adel clamp on the fork.

Someone posted on this thread( or maybe on Garemlins) that they weren't real thrilled with the way the vents operated( me neither) so I tried something today and it seems to work better. I removed one of the perforated washers(upper washer with lowers on bike) and replaced it with a flat washer and snugged things back up. No more clickitty clack when opening or closing the vents, just a smooth glide...Just thought I'd share

great idea! thanks for sharing

being no grooved plastic for them to "lock" into, does the wind not move them?
