Question 2010 Heat Issue Question

Can anyone tell me if the "No more fried thighs" heat shield that is advertised on this site from RJS Originals would work to deflect the heat on the 2010 tri-glide. Has anyone out there tried one of these?

Yep. Works for me! Had mine on for over a year. Better than stock shields.

They sure work great but they in themselves will not totally cure the heat problem. If you look at Boom's signiture you will see that he has done other mods like a head pipe which removes the cats..

Default 2010 Heat Issue

Thanks guys. Something to think about. Not sure what to do since I don't think it will be long before this state (Maine) will require epa standards on inspection..... I just know I am sick of the heat but I'm afraid to switch out pipes.

Hi beebe! Maine and Florida.....a dream of mine. We have a house in Biddeford Pool. Always wanted to spend summers there and get a place in Fl. for winter.

Do your thighs burn or you lower leg? My lower leg will get the heat. Not sure the Crotch coolers will help the lower leg. Anyone know? I have never had a problem with my thighs getting too hot.
Slip on mufflers and Power Commander V helped a great deal on my 09. I don't have the cat though.

Here is a real time test using his shields.

You can wrap the headpipe like some have done and add a crotch cooler to deflect some of the heat. For burning calf syndrome I recommend 14" high, stovepipe top boots. Engineer or cowboy style take your pick.

Help! just purchased a 2014 tri glide. Have not had to deal with the CAT problem before. Can they be removed? If so how hard is it to do?


Thanks
Butch
