Default Mid frame deflectors
Hello all, have a question about mid frame deflectors. My dad currently has a 07 Super glide. Now I have a 18 fat bob, and ended up buying the kuryakyn deflectors and they work amazingly, thought of him and was gonna surprise him with some. Now my question is, what's everyone's suggestion and experiences with the different brands? Should I stick to the kuryakyn brand? Being a the bike isn't anything like mine, I'm not sure if the brand I went with is at the top for his model. Thanks for any help in advance

I don't know about the HD or Kuryakyn branded ones. I have a leather deflector from Captain itch, nice quality and a sponsor here I think. He does nice work.

I've had it for about 10 years, still looks good and does what it's supposed to do. I have a plain one no special art or designs, I keep it clean with Wilson's leather lotion a few times a year.
