Default Kuryakyn Saddle Shields

When the rear cylinder on my Heritage Classic gets hot, it heats my leg up to the point where I feel like it's cooking. Some of the tourers come with heat shields but Harley doesn't have them for the other bikes. I found some Kuryakyn Heat Shields for Softails. Only took about 20 minutes to put on and they work great.

Keep us in mind as we replace a lot of plastic heat shields at rally s that have cracked ,broken or have fallen off the bike..
