The HD product works great but will not work with a Fatcat.

RE: heat shield deflector

My product will work with the Fat Cats. Since it's aluminum. You can tweek it,... to fit. But after looking at the fat cat styles out there. I dont forsee any fitment problems.

RE: heat shield deflector

Another vote for RJ's Originals.... My '05 Ultra runs hotter than my '03 Heritage did (same engine, but some unknown difference makes it hotter) and the thighs were getting fried -- especially here in Texas in the summer. RJ's solved that, and they look like a natural extension to the seat. Nice fit and finish -- and a personal touch on the phone with installation questions...

Couldn't do any better -- and you could do worse for less.....

RJ's is the way to go. Have them on my 07 classic and they look like they came with the bike. Couldn't ride without them.

Thanks for the info. You really don't get as hot with these heat shields? I test rode the 07 for 45 minutes the other day and I thought the heat was borderline unbearable.

Have you made any changes to your bike, or is it still factory specs? Were you riding in Death Valley, by chance? Mine used to get HOT, but only when sitting still idling for more than a few minutes.
