If you are talking about the HD ones, I've been told they are kinda in a tight place (pre '09s) if you have big clumsy hands.
If you are talkin about the Kuryakyn ones, it's so easy even a cave man can do it.
If you are talkin about RJ orininals, then I think he needs better pictures in his instructions because me and another guy couldn't figure out.

The Harley ones are pretty ugly compared to the Kurikan ones. You want the Smoked ones. They look really good, and they work great!! The Kurikan's are really easy to install as well. When I installed mine, I looked at my watch as I walked into the garage...opend the package, read the instructions, removed the seat and installed them...put the seat back on and as I walked into the house looked at my watch again....it was 9 minutes. That's easy!!!

+1 on the Kury's. The HD and RJ's are probably just as good or maybe even better, I wouldn't know. But I have the Kury smoked chrome shields on my Road Glide and they look great and function well - a definite decrease in heat on my thigh in the summer.

I agree with Shrink on this. The RJ Originals look like they came on the bike and work great!!

Jjohnson,
I have the Kury smoked and they were great......... until I got my Mustang Solo. My original seat had sapce under it and the fit was great. The fit of the new seat is so tight, but perfect, that the smoked shields wont fit under the seat correctly anymore. I'm going to have to cut the tops off and use adheasive tape to mount them on the sides only. It will work but I'm **** about my bike..........
So did you change your seat? If it's stock I'd recommend the Kury's. They work great and are easy to install.
