Ok what are the differences between lower fairings?

If I had a Vivid Black bike I think I would give the eBay lowers a try since they come pre painted in vivid black. But since I would have to buy the lowers and pay my painter to get them in Charcoal Pearl my cost savings real drops. $150 to $175 for lowers and $200 to $300 for paint I'm at $400 or so. I'm going to call Surdyke HD and see what my cost is shipped.

OK so Surdyke quoted me $642.50 for the color matched shipped to the house with about a 5 week time frame. The penny pincher says to order off ebay and save $250 but the perfectionist sayd get the HD ones so you know the quality is top notch...lol For those that ordered off ebay what company or seller did you buy from? Or does anyone know a dealer that would sell the HD lowers even cheaper?

This is what I did. I called Mutazu (510-483-3658) and speak to Gina. They sell the lowers on both ebay and directly from their company. I asked Gina to look at the set that's going to be shipped to me and to ensure that there aren't any scratches or anything on them. Also, I mentioned that I'm a member of this forum and she knocked off 10%. I think the delivery time was about a week. The lowers are not shipped with instructions but I used the HD Instructions. Also, I bought the CVO grills (they're like $26 each).
The lowers weren't a full gloss but I shined them up using, Turtle Wax Black Detailer spray. Right now, they look exactly like my painted inner fairing.
Mutazu sells 2 types of lowes. 1 I guess is not for speakers (but I honestly don't know why anyone would want this type). The 2nd is known as the 6.5 inch speakers. It actually comes with a set of speakers. The 6.5 inch speaker fits into the speaker pod. So all I had to add was my 6.5 inch DB651 & the CVO grill.
But some feel more comfortable buying the HD plastic. Whatever makes folks sleep well at night.

I really didn't even think about the speaker option on the lowers until this last post. If I went with the speaker pod version does anyone know just who you would connect the speakers to the head unit on the 2014 bikes? I'm guessing you can tie into the wireing that would normally run back to the rear speakers on the limited.

You've got me thinking about buying the lowers for my bike now.

i know that on the 2013 and earlier, the description says that the glove box doors are sold separately, but they come with a 'cover' that is held on with 4 snaps.
i'd like to see the instruction sheet for the part, but the p&a website says 'part not found' for that stock number

i think you might be wrong there. in looking at the parts breakdown, items 18 and 19 are the glovebox assemblies (left and right), and are complete. stranger things have happened, but i can't imagine that they would sell a replacement part as complete, but not when you buy the whole assembly they short you 1 part.

The China lowers are OK if you don't have to get 'em painted but not worth it if paint is involved and I have them. No matter where you get them from the after market ones are all the same and come from the same place in China. And don't forget the $50 in hardware you'll end up buying to get them on right cause the stuff they come with is trash. Stuff adds up.
