Default Yes, another well deserved Captain Itch thread!

1st, Thank You CI and your wife for your help ordering this.

I ordered it on a Friday, about 6:30 PM. When I came home from work on Monday, my package had already arrived! OUT-Fing-STANDING service!

This sucker is THICK!

No, I will no longer have those unsightly thigh burns. I can wear my nut-hugger basketball shorts with pride! (Think Larry Bird short shorts)

I had bought a LePera Silhouette Seat that I love, but OUCH! The seat drops you down real close to the heat.

Anyway, a couple pics here...

Before...


After...


Closer...




Bottom line; If you're on the fence about buying one of these, hop off the fence and buy one! Inexpensive, and very functional!

..Looks great and I get a lot of heat there as well. Could it possibly create a, "hot spot" on the cylinder head?

Eyeball kid, did you have much difficulty getting it on the first time?

Very Little. I just put it on, pushed and tucked it up as much as possible.

After the 2nd attempt to *hook it*, it caught.

It took my longer to find a socket (my buddy misplaced it) than to install this!

I moved to a 2016 Ultra Ltd from. BMW 1200rt. My boys get hotter than they like. The one you have looks nice, which one is it? Just a plain one? I'm looking at ordering one and I like the one you installed.

Yes, just the plain one. No design.

IMO, my bike is too plain for the others. But they do look damn nice.

Nice, that looks good too. I have the Captain's Tool Roll and love it - a permanent occupant of my right saddle bag for about 5 years now.
