#235310 fastjohnny (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 299 HD Lowers....again 2 Weeks, 2 Days ago   Just got back from the HD dealer and the local "bolt guy" with a set of lowers and various nuts & bolts. Lined up beautifully. I wound up cutting down a couple of rubber "corks" and drilling holes in them for the spacers on top. I'd still like to fine something else for spacers though. My wife looked at them & remarked how pretty they are then said,"Why are you always buying something shiney? That's just that much more stuff to clean bugs off of and polish." I just looked at her with my s**t eating grin and said, "Yeahhhh....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235312 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Moderator Posts: 1512 Re:HD Lowers....again 2 Weeks, 2 Days ago   After one ride in cold air and you won't care how much they shine or don't. The calming of the breeze around you would be worth putting them on if they were donkey poop brown instead of nice and shiny. I love my lowers and wish I'd put 'em on much earlier. -M7   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235326 Southwest (User) Who left the gate open Senior Boarder Posts: 216 Re:HD Lowers....again 2 Weeks, 2 Days ago   Congratulations on the new lowers....if you get a vibration noise at certain speeds,it is the bar the lowers are mounted to hitting the turn signal bar just under the headlight on the left and right. The space between the bars are about an 1/8 of inch but when the lowers deflect they make a hell of a racket....I wedged rubber between the bars and now all vibration noise is gone.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235329 JMayton (User) Heading down a road I've never been down before. Expert Boarder Posts: 493 Re:HD Lowers....again 2 Weeks, 2 Days ago   If I go to the HD dealer parts department what are the part numbers I need for my '02? I've got a set of plastic lowers that don't do all that well; too much gap or not enough coverage.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235408 kurtfriedrich (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 59 Re:HD Lowers....again 2 Weeks, 2 Days ago   Harley-Davidson Chrome Air Deflectors, 58121-85B is what I have on my 08.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/04 19:37 By kurtfriedrich.   My go far bike: http://kurtfriedrich.googlepages.com/roadstar My go fast bike: http://ducatifriedrich.googlepages.com/1098r-pictures   The administrator has disabled public write access. #235423 Transam1 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 134 Re:HD Lowers....again 2 Weeks, 2 Days ago   JMayton wrote: If I go to the HD dealer parts department what are the part numbers I need for my '02?

Chris No, not Bucks; I picked them up at Scootworks. The original mounting was a aluminum clamp around the fork but it broke so I bolted it to the lower holes in the windshield mounting bracket. Helps some but I get a lot of wind even with chaps fastened to the crash bar. I've read some good things about Bucks, but I've not been willing to spend the bucks (pun intended). At any rate, I understand that the HD lowers are shiny, which speaks to the firefly in me, you know; "shiny!"   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235582 fastjohnny (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 299 Re:HD Lowers....again 2 Weeks, 1 Day ago   Just got back from my first ride with my new lowers on. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I would have bit the bullet sooner. The difference is amazing. There is no vibration, but I still am on the lookout for different spacers for the top. There was a thread on here onece not too long ago about a web site that had all kinds of hardware like that but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone remember that?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235630 fireman922 (User) I'm not ready for winter..

You can Chrome tape them. Steel seemed to cause vibration I remember. Mine did not vibrate at any speed and i went to a MS fairing, I sure do wish I kept my old set up, I have a TON of wind now that I did not have with a Silverado WS and HD lowers, sealing the deal with Leader Products Desert Dawgs, I was almost windless. With the Fairing and Desert Dawgs Minus the HD lowers I may as well not have anything on the front. Gigantic blast of wind and no where to bolt lowers.   Logged     Experience is a tough way to learn ... because, you get the test first and the lesson afterwards.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
