Has anyone used the HD heat shields or the RJs leather heat shields.  I have rinehard true duals and the rear cyl exhaust lays right under my thigh.  Hot in jeans and burning in shorts.  Any thoughts other than not to ride in shorts?

I have the HD mid-frame deflectors on my scoot. They work really well but the RH side can be a pain to get the mounting screw tightened up. Prepair to cut off an allen wrench to be able to clear the rocker box. But all in all I love them, they do cut down on the heat from the true dual rear pipe. If you want a pic of them installed let me know.

I guess you could take the shorts off if they're too hot, but you might want to check local ordinances first.

I would like to see pictures of your heat shields installed.  I really only need the one but probably would put them on both sides.  thanks in advance.

Here is waht the look like installed. The garage was kind of dark but this will give you a good idea of how they look.

The left hand side. I am running true duals.

That screw on the right side was a nightmare.  I got it tho.   Same thing. I got a hack saw and shortened an Allen wrench.    how's the heat issue around the rear cylinder?  Gets a little warm in there I would say.

I purchased heat shields from Captain Itch.  They were to small to start with and Captain Itch replaced them with a custom size built for me.  They are an outstanding company and the heat shield work perfectly.  Installation was a snap.  Remove seat and place heat shield under tounge and replace seat.  Easy as ever.

Let's see what they look like.

I tried them and took them off.  I found that the heat kind of stayed there and was hotter than before.  I don't really like the look so I removed them.  I did keep the clip for the cruise cable on though.   Oh well   Another $75 laying in my junk cabinet.

I am only trying to stop from burning my leg when wearing shorts.  The heat shield works perfect for that.  I will attempt to attach a picture.

I won't ride in shorts.  Another good reason for removing

I put the RJ originals on my 05 SEEG. Love them!!!!  Much better than Harleys.  Tony
