agree 100%. they are a great product, unless you want to support HD/Kury and buy the cheap plastic/lexon thing they sell that many have reported as a POS to install, melting, breaking, etc. RJs work great and look even better. fortunately i made the decision to go with RJs the first time, rather than wasting $60+ for the HD/Kurys and then having to spend more money to do it right with the RJs. Well worth the $. And RJ actually gives a S*** and deals personally with each customer. Guess that is how American business used to be before we had the large, anonymous corporations.

So, the RJ's sound like a good product for double the price of another good product, both doing the job they were intended to do, which is essentially the same thing. If you like the styling of one over the other, that's individual preference.

OK, next question. If you have an adjustable back rest do they fit with the adjustment lever?

RE: The Verdict Is In
I may be wrong here but wouldn't the true fix be to install the deflectors along with a fuel management system and a oil cooler? After all the deflectors do nothing to address the real problem... These bikes run to damn lean from the factory! I've installed everything but the deflectors and don't really get the "cooking nads" feeling anymore. But then again I have not set in traffic for more than 10 min. at a time.

I think that a true fix would be to rotate the position of the engine 90* to the right or left to have the cylinders off set just like a MotoGuzi. Then all the pipes will be far away from our man berrys. IMO H-D will water cool them before doing that.

I like 'em. The looks of them, that is. My wife cut me off from buying any new parts.[:@]She says that in the year I have owned the bike, I have done enough. I love her to death, but if I keep spending money on my bike (she calls it the money pit), I think it will be the death of me.[:@]Gotta find her something pretty, to get her off my back. Or get her on her back more often.[:-]
