The guys there do speak some english but on their site the price for lowers (painted) was about 800$....

Hope this helps you out

No way I'd pay $800 for a set of lowers. Not even for Premeux quality. Thanks for letting me know. For that kind of money, I can get a set of JTDs, have them painted, have my seat reworked and buy a Utopia backrest with enough money left over for a tire.

Well, it looks like somewhere around $200-$250 to paint the box if they fill in the holes in the bottom part although one place just quoted me $450! If this next paycheck (Wednesday) is big enough, I'll get it painted, order new fairing brackets and see if I can't get some of this done. I still need to fabricate a new mount for the stereo/amp. I bought some pretty thick angle iron the other day. I'm hoping to cut one side of the L part off and bend it up. Should be strong enough. Ugly but nobody will see inside the fairing except me. If I feel creative enough, I might try to fab some brackets to bolt to the angle iron so I can mount the stereo the way HD intended (mounted to the brackets instead of the inner).

Good luck. Hope you get it done.

So do I.
