Wife has a Heritage Soft tail Classic. Her legs are getting real hot. Who's got what and what's the best?

You basically have two options...

First is the Kuryakan Shields...The work well, look good, and are easy to install..

Also have teh No More Fried Thighs option. These also look good, work well, but block out some of the chrome on the engine area, (oil tank etc..)

Both options look good...so its up to you which you prefer...Here are pics of both on my wifes ride..

First the Fried Thighs...

A lot of folks say if you switch exhaust, air cleaner and the electronic fuel injection system that the bikes, and the rear cylinder, run cooler.

I put the kuryakan heat shields on the Wifes Heritage and she likes them, and they look good. It keeps her leg off the head of the engine which caused her to get a burn on the inside of her right thigh, now with the shields her leg is healing and the heat is deflected away from her leg, look better that the no more fried thighs, not taking anything away from rjoriginals they have a good quality product, just hides to much chrome on the Softtails

Dont forget to mention that the RJS Originals helps Hide that ugly discolored exhaust pipe and the rusty screw on hose clamp from reflecting in the chrome of the right side of the oil tank.
