Default Captain Itch Crotch Cooler/Gel Insert Complete!

Got my Captain Itch Crotch Cooler installed (had a few difficulties, but some back and forth phone calls and a picture from Isabel solved it all!!!)

Great customer service on their part.

Also got my Gel Insert in my seat for my Softail Slim. Quite happy so far, took it on a 20 min ride. Not enough to really tell on the seat, but the crotch cooler really works!

Captain itch nailed it with this simple yet effective design. When it comes to things like heat, wind, and rain I normally say Man-Up, but the left header pipe on my Duals burnt my leg every time I planted my feet on the ground. The Crotch Cooler solved this.

Once I figured out the process, VERY easy. But figuring out how it went on was the difficult part as the bike featured in the video they show you on how to install it is old and not updated to the new bikes like my slim. So I had to do some phone calls with them to figure it out. But their awesome customer service solved it all!

When first installing the crotch coolers on my Heritage I found that some Cussin was required. Leather is stiff and the seat tongue must fit thru the slot in the cooler and then into the receptacle on the bike. Once it is on the first time whenever the seat is removed it is easy to put back on as the leather is shaped now. Mine as pictured is a little longer than the stock one as I have headers.

Ditto..Now it's easy. It will come off for Winter riding. Worthwhile accessory.

I had no problem installing mine. Made a huge difference in rider comfort and looks really nice as well. Money well spent.
