Looks great. Some months ago one of our forum members (War Hoop?) posted a pic' of his scoot with colour-matched lowers off a HD (Roadglide I think it was). He had used the full size standard engine guards rather than the Lindby style lower guards but said he needed very little adaptation. I remember thinking how well the curves and less-boxy appearance of the HD lowers matched the curves of the Indian rear panniers... a lot cheaper too... but for my Springfield I'd have to first swap to full size engine guards...
Really nice look on the Springfield. I've been thinking of adding the lowers to my Chieftain. Just can't get over the cost hurdle as I would also have to buy new Highway bars.
Personally I don't like the Indian lower fairings. I think they are too sqareish in shape and big compared to the nice rounded flowing lines of the bike. This is just my taste, I'm sure a lot of people love them.
Loved them on my Vintage even in the summer. When you get use to the storage it is hard to do without! I had to modify the turn signal mount to make them work but it is very do-able.

I have the same issue. This is the only reason Indian says they're not compatible with the Springfield. I just got used to having less of a turning radius in parking lots (doesn't affect maneuvers at speed). I have been toying with the idea of fabricating a couple brackets that'll move the signals forward about a quarter inch but have just been too busy. If you come up with anything, let me know!
What ever you do, don’t make them out of aluminum, that’s what I did cuz I got lazy and didn’t want to deal with sending pieces to get chromed. One bracket broke when I traveled to Oregon, the other broke a month later when I was in the middle of no where. So I said screw it and got some LEDs fog light with Amber rings integrated on them
JTD makes Lower’s for the standard crash bars. They have options for storage or speakers. They look similar to tha HD lowers but not exactly. The website shows them color matched in red.
Hate to revive a dead thread, but anyone still do this? Any more images and where do I even get these!? I've looked all over but they literally say nothing about the Springfield. I figured 2 years later more may happen.
I have a used takeoff black pair that I probably won’t install. It’s just the outside with no inner parts or mounting clamps. The reason I won’t use them is they interfere with the lower wind deflectors. PM me if interested.

When I mount the lowers for cool-season riding, I pull the polycarb, bolts and plates off of the deflectors, leaving only the base bracket still attached. They need a good cleaning by the end of Summer, anyway.
