mid frame air deflectors

Are those deflectors more for the riders or the engine? Do they keep more heat around the engine?

Are you talking about the heat shields just under the front of the seat, by the engine? They are to protect your legs from the heat.

If you want a product that #1-works, #2-looks like it belongs on the scoot, #3-has awesome customer service... Oh yea, made in the USA too!

Get the RJS Originals! http://www.rjsoriginals.com/ To give you a hint of how well they work his slogan is, "No More Fried Thighs."

I don't have a pony in this show but have them on my bike and the only thing I am sorry about is I waited a year before getting them...

They are for the rider. If you don't want to mod your bike to let it and you ride cooler, then you should get some.

Yeah but I'd much prefer getting the engine to run cool to begin with. Get your engine to a proper fuel to air ratio!!!

I'd also suggest getting head pipes that are ceramic coated inside and out. It'll keep the heat in the pipe until it is passed out the rear instead of radiating it all over yourself.

a good tune will cool that engine down alot. Going to a 2 into 1 helps alot too. Gets that pipe out from under the seat. I know those 2 things helped my bike out tons.

I've tried a lot of shields (most listed above), but the one that keeps me coolest and that I've taken from scoot to scoot is made by Shamrock. Maybe it's not all dolled up, but I can tell you it really works. http://www.shamrockride.com/heatshield.html
