Never given it a second look on my Ultra Limited. But I will take a look at it when I get home tonight.

Default Now that this can of worms got reopened ...

Someone with the V&H Power Duals that has a normal looking heat shield on the left side, please post some pics.

You made me go out and look. I definitely have the same shield. I think installation angle can make it better or worse as far as fit. I never really considered it a "problem". Seems to fit OK to me.

I have the power duals and the monster ovals on my CVO Road Glide. I have the exact same heat shield coverage as you. Yes it would have been nice to have the shield fully cover the pipe but thats just the way it is.

It's the same as my True duals. Doesn't bother me, mainly because it can only be adjusted properly one way.

Same exact thing on mine. Its kinda cheesy that they couldn't do a shield with full coverage, but at least it APPEARS as if there is full coverage.

Well hell, now they got me thinking I have got the 2 lower heat shields crossed. I'm gonna have to take them off and swap them and see if that corrects it or I won't be able to sleep.

Mine looks the same. I can't see it when I'm riding, and the bike leans that way on the stand so you really have to look for it.
Doesn't bother me!
