The new full-coverage Soft Lowers ($89.99 to $99.95) from Harley-Davidson® Genuine Motor Accessories® can extend the riding season by providing wind and mud protection for the rider's legs and boots, and minimizing cold updrafts. These covers are custom-shaped to hug the engine guard and minimize flapping, and clip in place for speedy installation. The two-way zippered outer edge accommodates guard-mounted highway pegs in almost any position. Reflective piping provides added visibility, and convenient zippered pockets provide storage for maps or other small items. Soft Lowers are available to fit many Sportster®, Dyna®, Touring and Softail® models equipped with an engine guard, but may not fit with forward controls and some other accessories. See an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer for fitment details.
