RE: Changing Heat Shields

Greg, I will (of course) want some pics and advise on how to change out the stock shield for the one w/out the indent.

jmpancoast says it's real easy to do....but I would want to hear from you first.

RE: Changing Heat Shields

oh, and did your stealer mention if it is the same shield on the 07 Street Bob? Yours looks identical to mine.

I'm 99.99% sure that it is the same. I just sent the money to the guy. I should have them next week. If it's as easy as stated, I'll get it done and post pix and let you know the story. If it's a pain, I'll have to wait until I have more time to fool with it. Probably not many good riding days left so I'm not going to get my bike where it's half taken apart and can't ride it. It sounds easy enough though. I'm also supposed to get my new streetbob solo seat next week. So, I'll have to deal with removing the rubber bumpers, installing a new seat nut, etc. as well. I'm going out of town for work Monday and will stop at the stealer's to pickup a new seat nut and cap (hopefully). I wonder what else I'll find that I didn't realize I couldn't live without... hahaha

RE: Changing Heat Shields

One more chime in. They WideGlide sheild absolutely fits. As stated, a couple minutes to remove sheild and replace. Its basically held on with hose clamps.
$30 bucks is an excellent price for what you are getting, I think.
I paid $60 for the WG heat sheild new to put on my FXD.
The SE sheild should be identical to the WG.
Don't do it with bike running, or when exhaust is hot

Hope it goes well for you.
