mid frame heat shields
has anyone put on the harley davidson heat shields. i so how do you get at the bolts to attach them. i think if i could get my 3 year old nephew to do it he would have a better chance of getting his hands in there, because my hands sure dont fit

It's HARD to install those suckers. I left the top bracket off as I couldn't hold it and thread the nut. Get some bandaids and a whole lot of time and you'll get it. And tell everyone not to buy the HD, too many other brands out there that an adult can install.

I put the H-D heatshields on mine, and haven't cussed that much in a LONG time! When I told my buddy I had gotten them he said he heard you have to get into 'no man's land' to bolt them on. Boy was he right!

I run the rj's originals instead of the HD ones....look better and attach with velco and tabs tucked behind the side cover
