First item i bought when I picked up an '11 SG withthe powerpac was a set of RJS Original's. Look great and work even better. Zero complaints with that product.

I put them on 2011 RKC, install was a snap! The reduced width of the Mustang seat at the tank would allow my inner thigh to graze the corner of the rocker box at a red light these deflectors cured that and reduce the radiant heat a bit a red lights as well.

If you'r installing the HD deflectors like I did, I found the two threaded inserts for the deflectors went in without much trouble. The long screw that drops down in the top of the frame for the top bracket was a tad to short for me. ACE Hardware provided me the same screw thread in a longer length. It is a bit of a challenge.

Update: I added mine earlier this year and the difference in heat irritation is amazing!
They do what they are intended to do. Much much better now!
