Heat deflectors

Any one help me out? Recently traded in my beloved Goldwing and bought a brand new electra glide ultra classic. Drive the HD to work every day. However, traffic in the capitol of Ireland is chaotic. As a result withthe engine getting so hot my thighs burn. Saw a similar HD with deflectors attached to tank / seat (similar to those on fairing) which might assist. Any one know anything about them or suggestions? Cheers

Here is another...from Kuryakan... I have these, and they look, and work great. I ride an Ultra and have had them on for over 20,000 miles

Judging by your photo, it appears you also have a BMW k75s or k100. Is that correct? I had one...great bike.

RE: Heat deflectors

Go with RJs originals, one of the sponsors here on this forum (No More Fried Thighs). Quality product that actually works. I highly recommend them. They are a bit spendier than HD, Kury, etc. but you get what you pay for. Do a search here on the forum and you will see many satisfied owners.

RE: Heat deflectors

Yes. Its an '83 South African inport K100RS attached to a Flexit Sidecar. I understand its the only one in Ireland and one of 3 in the British isles. strange little thing as the wheel of the side car is under the back - centred - of the side car. It's shape is like a cockpit of a plane. The Flexit system attachment works to mimick the movement of the bike. So as you lean into a bend the side car stays upright. Electric hood with seating capacity for one and adult and one child.Great bike with plenty of torque and so simple to maintain. Eug.

I also recommend RJ's originals.
Had them on my Ultra for 2 months and love 'em. Great looks and function.

I put the studded ones on my White Gold Pearl and really like the look.
