Memphis Shades Lowers - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

sra4031 · 09-12-2008, 09:17 AM

I just put my MS lowers on my 2008 C50C, and not sure if they are right. The forks are covered, and the top part (Chrome part) of the forks look too big for the clamps, so I put them on the next part of the forks, the brushed aluminum part. I guess this is the cover. Anyway I noticed when I checked to see if I have the clamp on tight that this part actually moves.

Is the clamps big enough to go on the top section of the forks? Memphis Shades do put out a good product, but sucks on their directions.

Mount the lowers just behind the front turn signals. As high as they will go..

sra4031 · 09-17-2008, 09:32 AM

Thanks. Noticed last night the cover part does not go up and down, and changed the placement.

Thanks for the pic's. I've been thinking of getting some lowers, I have the OEM lightbar and these pic's helped out alot. I have been stuck on the clear or the chrome. Still havn't made up my mind yet.

I got the clear mainly do to the fact they belnd in better with the sheild, and I thought the chrome ones look like fishing lures

do they only come in clear and black cause I have the gradient black shield?

sra4031 · 10-04-2008, 08:28 PM

The have the colors to match the shields, but I have heard of people paninting them solid to look better.

Could we get a ride report? Do you like the lowers? Make much of a difference? What did you most notice after you put them on? Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I for one like the lowers and see a tremendous improvement. I still have to make some brackets to make my OEM windshield vertical for even more imporvement to my ride.

I recently purchased the memphis shades lowers in clear and am quite pleased... no ecstatic about this purchase. I paid around $75 total for shields and brackets. They keep alot of the wind from coming up at the bottom and slapping you in the face. I wear contacts and drive with a 3/4 helmet with a flip down visor and wind was a really big problem. Now, I can drive with no shield and in moderate weather conditions, the wind doesn't even get to my eyes. They are rather remarkable. Also, it cuts down on some of the wind hitting the upper portions of your legs, but does nothing for your feet.. so not much help in cold weather.

And yes, Memphis Shades lowers come in almost every color you can think of.
