Default heat deflectors

I got no response from posting this in the Softail section. I'm reposting it here hoping someone has an experienced opinion on heat deflectors.

I see a few companies making under-seat heat deflectors. I'm wondering how well they work. Are they worth the money? Some look better than others..

They all look easy to remove when Summer is over and you want to feel the heat again.

I have a friend with the kuryakyn brand heat deflectors on his 04 egc and he swears by them. I have never ridden his bike so I can't give you a personal opinion. Britt

rjsoriginals.com best money I spent in a long time. They look and work great and RJ is an American made product produced and sold by veterans. Don't get much better than that

Yes, he has a Night Train model now. I think he probably has all the twin cams covered now.

Thanks for the feedback bagger dudes!

do a search here. You will find that RJs are the way to go. Unlike the others (HD/Kury/Shamrock) they actually work, fit and look great. A quality product that made all the difference in my '07 UC for me and the passenger. RJ is a fellow biker and forum member who is a great guy to deal with.

I have a set of the RJorginals. They work great and look good. A little higher cost than some of the others, but they are better quality.
