Ordered my lowers Monday Sept 26th.  HD dealer said I might get them in two to three weeks.  Not sure if breather will hit glovebox, if it does I think you can buy the shorter air filter so it will clear glovebox.  If not I will remove the glove box from lower fairing.

It will clear the glove box, not a problem there.  However, it does not clear it if a speaker is installed there...

Nice bike  do you have a detachable tour-Pak or only a sissybar?

Got the Tpak as part of the deal... Still waiting for it to arrive.  And the saddlebag spoilers, and the lowers...

Ok... So you need a relocated antenna system, don't you? Is it the model inside the fairing?

I wanted to keep the stock antenna enabled, so I got a Y antenna splitter and installed the internal powered antenna.

Could you tell me where you picked up that y connector? I have been looking for one of those for a while.

Thanks in advance!

Is it that part?

[wachuko]

Sure!

Splitter I got from Amazon - US$7.27

The antenna, also from Amazon. I used the Metra Universal On Glass Amplified AM/FM Antenna - 44-UA200- around US$18.00  Same as what HD sells for 50.00

Hope that helps.

I have not seen the lowers available for that bike, but I'd bet they were painted the dark color of your bike, and would be all one color.  Lowers make a big difference in cool weather and rain, and you can always put them on with the quick disconnects.

You could get them custom painted to match the scheme of the rest of the bike...

Also remember with the air cleaner that comes on the RG, it will be right against
the lower on the right side. Thought you should know.

Got confirmation for delivery.  They arrive at my place this Monday  

Still waiting on the Chopped Tour*Pak... that one should arrive to the dealer today or Monday... two months waiting for it  

Edit:  Understood wrong...backorder release on the Tourpak was Oct 28... Still no idea when it will be shipped

Thanks for photo showing the GPS mount above gauges, I almost convinced myself to order one, but this is AWFUL looking sticking up in front of the radio. Thanks again, that is one thing that won't be in my no longer used pile of stuff.

It really depends on which GPS you have... the part is a work of CNC craft and, imho, it looks so much better than if stuck in the handle bar.  But that is the great thing about choices  

I bought the one with two positions for mounting... decided to moun the base of the GPS on the lower position of the bracket.





This is a photo taken with the camera at my eye level (5'7" here...).  There is no blocking of the radio display.  Again, all this will depend on the profile of GPS you have.

            Installed my new twilight blue lowers last Wednesday.  The air filter that comes on bike will not work with lowers installed.  Removed glove box from right side lower, SE air filter cover barely hit the pivot bolt on vents, so I put glove box back in lower and went back to HD shop and bought the shorter air filter.  Everything fit perfectly. So to answer others questions, No factory lowers will not fit with stock air filter.  Now I have a winter and a summer air filter,  I will be removing lowers next spring and re-installing original air filter and cover.
