Heat retention
I've yet to try one and ck with a heat gun but I know that by moving the coil on the other side to mid engine there was a 20*F heat loss on the back side of the rear head, removing that obstruction to air flow. By throwing a cover on the rear head it can't but help trap heat on the rear head. JMO. I'm going to try it this summer on my Crossbones because it gets hot for sure and see how much it rises the temps.

Guy,s we make a product called a Crotch cooler that get,s very good reviews. Very simple to install and it has a little bigger foot print than the plastic ones. We sell a lot to Soft tail owners as burning your leg on the oil cap,and the heat from the oil tank are a big issue especially to riders that are vertically challenged.. They can also be decorated to match your bike which is a nice touch. Check us out if you have any questions give us a call. Thank you Captain Itch.

If you lurk around retailer web sites who sell Kuryakyn Reflective Saddle Shields, you're come across some unhappy ex-owners who complain that the rear hole cracks and breaks.
I bought and installed the right-side deflector ~ I threw the left-side reflector away (I didn't need it)
Several people commented that they had problems with mounting hardware punching a bolt hole in the plastic deflector. So, I installed mine with a fender washer in the rear hole position, and a larger washer in the front hole position. And I tightened them down carefully.
The deflector shield works as intended. I've used it for 3 years now, and it presses against my right thigh when I put my feet down to stop. But the "burning sensation" is gone!
