Heat deflector rewiew
« on: June 26, 2008, 07:50:23 PM »
I already read a lot of informations about heat deflectors available : HD, RJ, , kuryakyn, koolking, (any else ?)
But comments have now more than 1 year so please could you give me your feedback today ?
which one to choise to try to drive my bike with more pleasure  & cooler ?
My wife doesn't want to rde with me aymore since weeks now because her right foot is burning... Does one is better than others for passenger protection ?
Best regards
Pascal

I'm sure they all function the same, but as far as looks go RJ's are best.  I've had mine for 9 months now, still work and look great.

Many varieties, I had a friend lose one because of the velcro mounting on one side, but he thinks the dealership didn't get it back on right after servicing.  :nixweiss:

I do like the H-D Mid-Frame Air Deflectors PN 58022-07A. They work well and they nicely clean up the looks of that area. Note that you will experience more heat on your right leg.

Ride safely,
Louis

I chose the RJ's because they are aluminum and I believe they will last versus the plastic which I expect to get brittle-they do work well and probably they all function similarly.

The most efficient heat deflectors (and the cheapest if you have the ultra) is to remove the lowers and store them for the summer.  Works great.

I tried, but in France Dealers explain that I'm the only one with this trouble LOL
I also wrote to the MOCO France, their reply is incredible, if I resume they tried to explain that I must be proud to ride a bike like that so I have to understand there are some small inconveniences... :jack:

My wife doesn't want anymore to ride behind me so I have to find quickly a solution...  :-*

The quickest solution is to remove the lowers. Makes a huge difference.
