Had the Captain's product on our 2011 UL along with a Wards cooling fan, all worked well with getting the heat down.

If you really want to make her happy, remove the catalytic converter from the exhaust, that is the heat she is feeling on her right ankle.

I have a set very similar to these and I can tell you they make a WORLD of difference. I ride on '03 Ultra my wife rides an '03 883 Sporty. We both have the leather heat shields and we both absolutely LOVE them.

Enjoy the heat it's coming up to winter, change any of the above suggestions come spring. Personally, I took the cat out, and made a world of difference. Never needed to remove the deflectors at all. No tune required.......
