I've had a Classic in the past and an 95" Ultra with no vents.  It was only a little hotter on the Ultra with the lowers then the Classic so now with the vented lowers and the fairing deflectors that allow me to direct the airflow I don't see an advantage to taking them off.  Besides... I'm anal retentive and need the glove boxes for my gloves, spare helmet cord, EX pass and sunglass holders.  

Ride Safe,

Ken,
You getting to know the SEVRod better during the down time of the SEUC?

I've put several hundred miles on it. it rides great, but, it's just not made for long trips like the bagger. I love it, but, it'll never replace the SEUC! Ya know?

I know what you mean, I use the boxes in the lowers for small stuff too, plus my DoD sticker is on the vent of the lower. I need that to get to work without a hassel of getting a temp pass.

I understand that it's a world of difference. Hopefully your wait will not be to much longer.

With the issues of this 110 motor getting hot especially that aft cylinder I pulled my lowers off and boy did my performance get better. She runs stronger and I have no pinging anymore from heat buildup. My SEUC will always have its lowers off. It reminds me of the days when I had my Roadking!!

So are you selling them, then?   What are you asking for them?

[Trapperdog]

Got speakers in mine so they won't be coming off. Before the speakers they just accumulated junk. Now the junk is in the 3 winshield bags. I don't like junk in my saddle bags so I guess I will have to keep the windshield bags. Love the speakers in the lowers though!

[MJZ]

Should be another choice in the pole: keep a second bike without lowers for those really hot dog days of summer. I agree with those that said the bike looks funny without them and I too am too lazy to take them off.

With the vented lowers, I can't see any good reason to remove them.  I get plenty of air flow while moving, and when I'm not moving they have no affect one way or the other.  It is nice to have a little protection for the shin bones after all those years of painful contusions from bugs or road debris, and getting caught in the rain is less of a PITA when your boots don't fill up with water thrown up from the road.

I haven't been through a summer yet, but winter here can be hotter than summer some places.  Heat seems OK with the vents open. 

I miss the look of the heritage, but I sure don't miss the rocks in the shins!

Glove boxes?  oh yeah, i forget they have glove boxes.  Such a pita snapping the covers closed, I never use them.  Anybody else have that problem?

[Serkcus]

Serk doesn't have lowers, but had to vote on way in here.  In fact no uppers on her either.     Not telling which catagorie I tainted.

[wenchal]

I like the look and the storage for little things but mine are coming off, probably in another 2-3 weeks.  I like them on but TX heat is just to much.

[LRebel]

Bought my bike - rode it home and took the lowers off that same day.  Waxed the lowers, wrapped them in old towels and stored them on the top shelf of a closet.  The 100 mile ride home in July was enough for me.  Big difference with the lowers off - much cooler for me (besides, I like the looks without the lowers....without the lowers, it's not really a full dresser, right Howie )

I have a set of the HD snap on vinyl lowers I carry in my tour pak.  I can snap them on if it is cold or the roads are wet and then pull them off when out on a trip and store them in the bottom of my tour pak.

Too Early to decide if they stay for the Summer. I appreciate they have vents-seems the 95th anniversary didn't which was the only other EG I ever rode. I have a pair of soft-snap on if I do take the hard lowers off for bad weather, from my SERK. The do make my highway pegs a PITA to be where my short legs need them.

Yup.  I don't use mine either.  e-glide goodies makes a replacement door.  If I get more into trips I'll replace them.
