Stay away from the Kuryakans, I have broken 3 sets in the last year. SUre they stood behind them and replaced them, but I finally gave up and went with the HD ones.
I have the Adjustable backrest, the HD shields will NOT work with them, unless you find a new place for the adjustment lever. I ended up setting it where I want it, and lockin it down, then removed the cable and lever.
Seems to work so far..

I have a '07 FLHTCU with an adjustable (manual) back rest and the heat deflectors work just fine. I was told they won't work with a remote/adjustable back rest. The cable adjustment gets in the way.

I have RJ Origionals on my flhtcui and they do a wonderful job.
I looked at Kurkyans first - talked to a guy that had them & he didn't recommend them. He broke several as his chaps caught on them when dismounting.
Also, have the adjustable drivers backrest - just takes a moment to move the sheild to get at the backrest lever.........no big deal.
