Default Added Heat Deflectors

Ever since I went to a Corbin seat which is narrow at the lip, the heat form the engine on my right leg at stops has gotten exponentially worse. I'm hoping to curb some of that heat by adding HD heat deflectors. I also rattle canned them with white high-heat paint. Came out better than expected. Hope it works out!

Installed the new Thunderheader. The guy I bought it from had it ceramic coated, but I wrapped it and then painted the wrap and exposed muffler with high heat paint. So, after I installed it, I cured the paint using the instructions on the paint can.

Yep - wheels are HD Breakout Turbine. Don’t know if these ones are offered on a stock BO or CVO, but they are a little different than most BO wheels I see. They have the chrome edge on the front of each spoke. I had trouble deciding between these and King Spokes, but I am real happy with how these turned out.

Started to prepare the Hearltand bike Fender horns to install by glueing the wiring in place...

thanks,

Mine came from a fellow in Arizona named Ernet Tarango. He runs a Facebook store selling them in all different colors. He will even embroider whatever you want on the blanket. He does great work. I had it in 2 days and I'm in Maryland.

So that weekend was shot (and then some), at least I was able to get some of the work completed...
Picked up the fairing and was able to get the stereo installed.
Now I just have to finish it (once i get back on my feet, rough weekend)...

I don't understand how you had a choice, I've never seen either available! Where did you get them? Did the rear wheel and 240 fit in the stock tail? I have a 200 Heartland with the stock tail and only have 1/4 inch on each side! haha...
