After riding it, I knew what my priorities were: 1) protect the CVO paint job, 2) Reduce engine heat to OEM specs and protect the engine, 3) improve rider comfort.
Therefore, the solutions to my priorities were 1) Hog Skins Paint Protection Film with Gtechniq Ceramic for PPF, 2) DK Custom's 1.5" Tank Lift Deluxe, Cooling Deflector Wings, EBS Catch Can, 3) 12" HD Batwing Mini-Ape Handlebar, Extended ISO Shift Pegs, DK Custom's 13" NexGen Shocks with lift kit, DEI Cool Shield for under the seat. Trust me, the $$$ add up quickly. I am glad I rode it first to know my needs and priorities and found the DK Custom website. I believe it saved me from making a mistake of adding things I thought I needed without riding it first (i.e., expensive oil cooler system,...). I did all the work myself and therefore bought a HD CVO Tri Glide Service Manual, Husky 3-ton Floor Jack with two Jack Stands.
Well thought out to your individual needs and priorities!

How did you use the DEI heat shield?
A photo would help.

It is just a 12" x 12" thin self-adhesive heat shield I stuck to the bottom of my CVO Tri Glide seat that you can buy on Amazon or from Design Engineering Inc.
