If heat is a problem give us a look we are a new sponsor here but have been here a while..
Our heat shields our Crotch coolers as we like to call them work very well and the quality is #1,easy to install.As with all of our products if you are not happy just send it back for a full refund. Here is a link to our page http://capt-itch.com/
Thank you

Hot Ride
MY 07 was a real oven to ride on any day over 70 degrees,after a lot of money and frustration RJ heatshields with the TTS tuner have done the job. I'm even using the stock headers with no problem for the wife or myself.

I guess I'm just used to the heat...I didn't have anythign on my '03 Ultra and don't have anything on my '08 either. When I get hot, I open up all the air deflectors. The heat coming off the motor doesn't seem to bother me when I'm sitting at the stoplights...they're fairly brief.

I know it's frustating but unfortunately, the dealer isn't just spouting cliche's. They, and the MOCO are stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one. They're bound by EPA regulations and that means that for the recent year models, they'll all run hot and it is normal. None of us like it but we're stuck with it. The folks that probably don't mine are those selling the upgrade mufflers, air cleaners, heat deflectors, and products like the Power Commander.

i also have the rjsoriginals they work good but the one thing these do that the others don't is allow you access if you have an adjustable backrest the little trigger that mounts to the frame gets blocked by all others except for rjsoriginals they are more expensive but they are made out of aluminum and wrapped with high quality leather so there for you can bend and tweak them a little if need be, good luck. oh and they are made by american vets.

The RJ Originals are about as good as it gets. I put them on mine and they made a major difference, it kept the heat off the inside of my legs in the slow moving times.
I would endorse these to anyone without even a second thought.
Great work RJ, thanks for a great product at a reasonable cost.
