M8 engine cooling
Folks, I would like to add what the Motor Co. calls a heat deflector to the left side of my Sport Glide, to be used as an air scoop to push air thru the frame, behind the rear cylinder head. I have installed a Jim's Forceflow Fan which is great for the center of the cylinders, but the back of the rear jug is still in 'dead' air. Anyone know which deflector might work? Anyone tried this?
Thanks
Thanks

The only one I have seen that is even close, is the Kuryakyn version.
I do not think HD offers one....

FYI, heat deflectors can be counter-productive (e.g. make things worse). Take a look @DK Custom Products parts to cool your ride, and call them for advice. Their parts/products are awesome.
