Heat Deflectors

Crutch Cooler Great product
+1 on the Capt Itch crutch cooler, have fitted one to my 2005 Ultra Classic and I'm very happy. Swmbo has seen a huge improvement with the heat coming off the cross over pipe on the exhaust which use to burn in stop / start traffic now gone. Also Capt Itch is cheaper than some and has a money back garentee. So nothing to lose and a lot of smiles to gain.

I tried the Kuryakyn Saddle shields on my '07 Ultra and liked them ok, until the left side one broke. I ordered the RJ's Originals and wished I had ordered them to begin with. They were easier to install, look tons better, work great, and don't break. Oh yeah, I have the HD Adjustable backrest and everything works fine together, although the releasr lever is a little harder to reach while riding. But I really never need to readjust the backrest while I'm riding anyway. Go for the RJ's and don't look back.

Well I just got back from a ride to RJ's place. I found out he was only about a 40 mile ride, so I headed out there.
If anyone is debating which heat deflector to use, I have to say give RJ a look. RJ had me pull my bike into his garage, installed the deflectors while I helped (more like I got in the way really).
I really wasn't sure I liked the look of them in the pictures, but in person, these things are really nice looking and boy do they work. It's a hot day and I had to make lots of stops, but never did my thighs get hot like before. There was a tremendous amount of heat coming off that engine, but almost none getting to my inner thighs like before.
On top of that, RJ is one cool guy. Took a lot of time with me, even spent 10 minutes hunting around his shop to find a bolt for my seat which had disappeared at some point. I'm on a tight budget, but I'm glad I spent a few extra bucks and got these over the harley or kuryakyn deflectors.
Give em a try if you are tired of burning your thighs.
