Default Technical Help

I have a 1998 FLHTCI. I'm trying to figure out if anybody sells Mid Frame Heat Deflectors for the older models like mine. The backs of the legs get awful hot at times. Anybody have any ideas?

The Evo Ultra I had I just took the hard lowers off and bought snap on soft crash bar covers and put them in the bags for foul weather riding.

1998 through 2007 are the same frame if I recall.
