Kuryakyn Saddle Shields
Has any one tried the Kuryakyn Saddle Shields?
If so, how do they work and would you recommend 'em?

I feel the same. They just look like that have to be in the way unless you ride spread eagle
. If you do decide to get them let us know how they are. It would be real nice to have something that works.

RE: Kuryakyn Saddle Shields
I've got them on my EG. Have ridden with them both in Myrtle Beach and Daytona definately will dissapate the heat. However make sure you get ALL the mounting hardware to ensure they are securely mounted. When I originally got mine there was no hardware (eg, extension for side panels, or rubber bushings etc.). Called Kuryakyn Customer Service and they sent me the hardware kit the same day.

Everything I've read indicates a PClll, new pipes and air filter will cool the new '07 TC96's down to a livable level. Sounds like in your case that's not true. Is the TC96 still hot beyond being tolerable afer the modifications?

RE: Kuryakyn Saddle Shields
The parts mentioned seems to have cooled mine down a bit. I think it is more the LOCATION of the pipes, not the actual heat from the engine itself. At least that is what I am finding with mine.
As far as the shields, I will be getting a pair in the spring unless I hear alot of negative info on them. $130ish for the leather one's seems a little steep.

RE: Kuryakyn Saddle Shields
Those things are made out of a plastic material. I was shown a pair that actually melted on the bike. It was on an 06 UC. My 07 UC got a lot hotter than my 06 does. You might want to investigate it some more. JMHO
