Default Heat deflectors

I am trying to decide which under seat heat deflectors to get. As the weather is getting warmer, the heat is getting more and more noticeable, from the crossover pipe (yea, I know - true duals, SERT, Stage One, etc, etc - but the budget is tight, right now).
I have the link to the RJ Originals' website (nice product, buta little too pricey for me, right now). I know HD has their own, and so does Kuryakin. Here is the issue: yesterday I searched all over their websites, and could not find the heat deflectors! Either I'm in need of reading glasses, or the products are burried somewhere deep in the websites. Does anybody have a link to the HD deflectors, and the Kury's? Your help is greatly appreciated!

+1 for the RJs Originals. I have them on my 06 Ultra and my company ride too.

RJ's are the best and worth waiting for if you need to save up the cash. They fit, they really work, they look great too.

Down the road you'll wish that you had sprung for the RJs Originals. Well worth the extra $. Pay me now, or pay me later, but you'll save $ in the long run by just breaking down and getting the best.

HD's are murder to install with adult size hands. Work good though.
