Lower Cowlings

Hey there, Has anyone ever attempted to pull of the Lowers on the RSTD? I just recently purchased my 06 and hadn't had it 3 days and took it back due to the whine. "I" basket is supposed to be here this coming Tuesday and I have my fingers crossed. Anyway, when I went riding the day after I bought it.. man it got warm down there by my feet and legs. So I started looking around and saw that it looks like the only things there, which would require relocation or mounting of some sort are the following:

Fuse box, a box that looks like a ecu, brake res, and the intake air filters.

Seeing that I thought ok.. Just mount a K&N set up directly to the unit right up under the gas tank and then either build a little box to house the ECU and Fuse box in. Outside of that, I am not seeing anything major unless of course I am missing something.

Would be SO Nice to have the flexiblity of putting on and removing as needed based on weather conditions.

So anyone tried this yet?

Thanks,

I don't know if it is worth all that trouble. Have you considered vents to direct air flow?

The cruise control stuff is down in there somewhere too. Several people have thought about this, but no one has figured out where to put all the stuff. If you figure it out, I'm sure a lot of folks would like to know how to do it. Those vents would be a lot easier.

will those vents work with hiway pegs?

where do they mount?

any pix?

Depends on the highway pegs and where you have mounted them.

See the attached photo for the mounting of the vents on my bike.

Buckley, I put Kuryakin long horn highway pegs on mine. They mount to the crash bash and I don't think they would interfear with the vent wings.
