Mid Frame Heat Deflectors
Does anyone else think that the mid frame heat deflectors actually trap more heat, making the heat worse on the rider's upper right thigh ?
I currently ride a 2016 Road Glide Ultra with mid frame heat deflectors. Previously, I had a 2012 Electra Glide Classic without the heat deflectors. It seemed much more comfortable, heat wise. I'm thinking of removing them from the Road Glide to see if there's any difference.

I've never hador needed or wanted any heat deflectors. The only time I sit for very long is at a stoplight and it's not that long to complain about feeling the heat because I really don't.

Agree....my Crotch Cooler keeps the heat completely away from my legs.

I have a 2014 SG and even when moving the heat from the rear cylinder seems much hotter than my '08 SG.
I ordered the RJS Originals heat shields Monday - due to arrive Thursday. I'll post after trying them this weekend.

Put them on my '03 ultra when I had it, and they made a big difference. I've had several bikes since then, and none of them had them and I didn't notice any more heat.,,
