Question Heat Deflectors
Do they work, are they worth the money?

I have the HD ones and they work great. Major PIA to install, but well worth it.

I not sure if they work or not either. If they help he passenger also, I think I will definitly buy some. I have been thinking about the RJs Originals and they do look nice on the bike. Captain Itch (which is a forum sponsor) makes some cool ones also. That seems to be the two styles I am looking at. I'll probably go with the RJs though.....

Yes they help..after I put them on, wondered why I waited so long..I went with the Kury smoked mirror ones. Was down to those or RJ's Original. I think they all work pretty well, just depends on what look you want..

There are many out there and several of our sponsors on here have a few to offer.

RJ's work very well for me, install is very easy, and I think they look the best. Many prefer these over the plastic HD or kury.

RJS Originals are the best, bar none! They look like they belong on the bike, function as advertised, and are so easy to install even you can put 'em on, just follow the directions...

If you like the looks of cheap breakable plastic hanging off your bike, get the Kury or HD deflectors.

I got the Crotch Cooler from CPT Itch, simple install, put me some skull conchos on it and it looks good and they do work. I'm satisfied.
