With good fuel management, I haven't seen the need for that type heat shield.......yet. Also, I don't see the need to bash the man's product.

No heat issue here but I like your Saddlebag Cup Holder - good looks/good price.

Geez guys....Captain Itch is a site sponsor! Can't we be a bit more polite?

No.....I'm not a partner in the business.

Last year a Bikes,Blues,And BBQ I set in a line of traffic and cooked my *********, I'm sure I am sterile now.

$70.00 might not be such a bad deal if it works!

I have the stock HD under seat deflectors that came on my 09 Ultra. I don't loose sleep over it but have wondered if its such a great idea to even try to deflect/hold whatever you want to call it, that much heat back onto that rear cylinder. Wonder what the effects it may have in the long run. Just a note, I don't even notice the heat deflectors on the bike (from a cosmetic point of view).

I never cease to be amazed at how a simple post can turn in to sh*t throwing fight. It's unreal! So many people...so many opinions, just chomping at the bit to let everyone in the world know how you feel. Seriously rather than arguing over $70.00 heat shields, some of you guys should save it for your therapists. If you're not already seeing one, with the $70.00 you saved, perhaps you should get one.

This is one of the reasons why I visit the site less frequently than in the past. I got tired of reading rude, inconsiderate comments like some of those posted in this thread. I find it's sometimes better to just keep my thoughts to myself because it's not worth debating someone who throws hand grenades, then hides behind a computer. Having said that, you now know how I feel about the subject.

To the OP: Looks like a good product at a reasonable price. I'm sure you will sell to many of the people on this forum.
