Thinking of adding lower fairings and looking at the ones offered by AdvanBlack. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with them.
 
I don't have them but have seen plenty of posts about them, everyone seems to be satisfied and say the quality/paint are good.
 
Check out what on amazon!!!!
Just saw a set that were great quality!!!!!

I have a set but not AdvanBlack and they matched perfect on my Vivid black SG. I have to remove them as they don't fit after I upgraded to SE heavy breather....if you are looking for Vivid black hit me up with PM.....thanks!
 
Thanks for the input. I am going to pull the pin on a set in Charcoal Denim for my 16 SGS. I'll post a follow up when I receive them.
 
I have the AdvanBlack in Amber Whiskey. The color match is perfect. The latches are pretty chintzy but the company was great in sending me several replacements when one broke. My only real complaint is that the paint job hasn't held up that great. It seems to chip much easier than the HD painted pieces I have. For the price, I am still happy I bought them.

Are they easily removed for the warm weather? I was looking at these for my 2015 SGS as I don't like riding with lowers until the cold weather hits. https://www.chilhowee.net/harley-davidson-engine-guard-chaps/EGC001.html
 
It's not too bad to remove them. The initial installation really confused me. You also need to be concerned about the clips that have nuts soldered into the back of them. Those nuts will break free and the reinstallation is a bitch.

I have the Advanblack in Blackened Cayenne,color is good install was easy and quality is a eight plus out of ten. I had to adjust one glove box , didn't line up with outside edge of lower. Loosened three retaining fasteners and lined right up. Door on other lower was slightly warped, and I'm being picky saying that. Had them about two thousand miles now and paint is holding up well. I'll be leaving them on year round, was going to remove in summer but they reduced buffeting a considerable amount ,so that by itself make them appealing to me. Very satisfied.
 
Bulkdragon I know it’s a long shot but are you still selling the advanblack lower fairings with speaker mods?
 
On my 2014 I bought the Factory Fairing aftermarkets and was pleasantly pleased with the quality. Only problem was, By the time I got them purchased, painted and shipped I had as much in them as factory lowers! So-with the new M8 I just did the factory units which BY THE WAY . . . .TIP:
The OEM HD lowers grill panels in each side are just snap ins. So I have the solid panels that came with mine and I purchased the perforated panels that come on the water cooled lowers and just change them out in summer and winter! :cool:
 
I'm thinking of going with the Advanblack lowers as well. I have soft lowers now and my question is do the hard lowers help with the buffeting more than the soft lowers?

I went with $60 cheapos off ebay about 4 or 5 years ago when I still had my Road King because I only use them in the winter months. I always ride black bikes so they matched the paint just fine. They didn't come with half the hardware but I was able to get it from the local hardware store for less than $5. I bought the quick-detach kit from ebay for about $20 which worked just fine with exception of the bottom mounting point was a pain and seemed to lift the fairing up too high which made mounting them a pain so I bought the HD ones for less than $10. I've had them for many years and two bikes now and they still work fine. The only other thing I did was replace the glove box doors with some HD ones I bought at a swap meet so they looked like the real deal! Since I only use them in the winter they work great for me, I think If I were to use them year around I would go for a higher quality brand.
