Heat Shields for Summer Riding?

Do you have them on your bike? My friend who has a twinkie says the passenger will really appreciate them.

What do you all say?

Twinkees run lean with a air to fuel ratio of 14.6-1 or hotter for emission reasons and can cook eggs on them, tune your bike properly with a 13.8-1 to 14.0 idle and cruise area and you will have a happy engine and passenger with no deflectors needed.
