samklr650 Posted June 9, 2014 #1 Posted June 9, 2014 Can the Lower Leg protectors be removed for summer riding and if so does anyone have a picture of thier RSV with them removed?
XV1100SE Posted June 9, 2014 #2 Posted June 9, 2014 Lower leg protectors? You mean the lower cowlings? If you are referring to the cowlings, then keep in mind there are electronics inside them. Don't think you would take them off.
steamer Posted June 9, 2014 #3 Posted June 9, 2014 Electronics and cruise control unit is located behind the lower fairings. Mount highway pegs to your front crash bars, that will get your legs out in the wind.
CaptainJoe Posted June 9, 2014 #4 Posted June 9, 2014 Baker air wings if you want the wind... pricey but worth it...IMHO http://www.bakerbuilt.com/bbairwings/page48aa.html
MikeWa Posted June 9, 2014 #5 Posted June 9, 2014 Can the Lower Leg protectors be removed for summer riding and if so does anyone have a picture of thier RSV with them removed? NO ... But you can purchase air deflectors for summer riding. Mike [ATTACH]85007[/ATTACH]
cw1263 Posted June 9, 2014 #6 Posted June 9, 2014 without lower cowlings bike will not run right at highway speeds. I bought 2006 RSV that lowers were gone trust me it won't run right unless you put something in front of air cleaners.
djh3 Posted June 10, 2014 #7 Posted June 10, 2014 A fellow on the Delphi forums has had his off for a very long time. I think he took them off because of heat. He lives in Az. Myself I dont think I want to undertake the project of relocating all that stuff. Cruise control, horn, relays just to mention a few. It would be easier to buy another set, take a hole saw and drill like 2" holes in the bottom half to get air thru than to remove them.

samklr650 Posted June 10, 2014 Author #9 Posted June 10, 2014 NO ... But you can purchase air deflectors for summer riding. Mike [ATTACH]85007[/ATTACH] What Brand are these? I like them. I looked at Baker Wings, but didn't find a set that looked liked these. Sam
Freebird Posted June 10, 2014 #10 Posted June 10, 2014 Those are Yamaha Star Accessories. Probably no longer in production but you may be able to find some.
bongobobny Posted June 10, 2014 #11 Posted June 10, 2014 Yes, try ebay listings. I still see them come up...
djh3 Posted June 10, 2014 #12 Posted June 10, 2014 Heres the listing from Star $210 and tinted it seems is the way they are like it or not.
bongobobny Posted June 10, 2014 #13 Posted June 10, 2014 Here's a set... http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROYAL-STAR-VENTURE-TOUR-DELUXE-TINTED-LOWER-WIND-VENTS-DEFLECTORS-/231235488884?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35d6b58c74&vxp=mtr
tazman1567 Posted June 10, 2014 #14 Posted June 10, 2014 before i'd pay $200.00 too $350.00 for air jams I would make them myself for a lot less.i mean really for what they are and what they do a little time racking the brain a man could make them cheaper and to your own liking

It would be easier to buy another set, take a hole saw and drill like 2" holes in the bottom half to get air thru than to remove them. It's Tankerhank on the Delphi forums who has removed his lowers. Hasn't really had any problems. I believe he has a write up on the whole procedure. Definitely cleans up the bike, but like someone else said, not sure I'd go through all the work.
