BenlariGloss Black Mid Frame Air Deflectors Heat Shields Deflector 2009-2024 Compatible for Harley Davidson Touring Street Glide Road Glide Electra Glide Road King Ultra Limited Tri Glide CVO

Fit perfectly and extremely easy to install. Good quality!!! And a fraction of the price of genuine HD. Haven't rode the bike yet but im sure it has to help with heat on inner thighs. Installed on 2017 street glide special.

For those of you who are considering a mid-frame air deflector/heat shield and don't want to pay top dollar or care about color matching, I just purchased this Benlari model on Amazon and can report that it DOES, in fact, fit the 2024 touring models.If you read the reviews you'll see a fair number of folks who say otherwise but they fit my 2024 Street Glide without a hitch. Yes, it does just barely touch the underside of the gas tank so if you're concerned about it I suggest adding a small strip of black electrical tape to the top edge of the deflector prior to installation. I didn't bother but that's just me.As has been suggested by others online, I only installed the right side, leaving the left side open so that air flows in the right side and out the left side rather than forming a hot-box under the seat. Based on the reviews, this has the added benefit of not having to contend with installing the left side, which seems to be a bit trickier than the right side (and which is typically hotter than the left side).Regarding installation, the hex nut fit perfectly into the hexagonal hole in the frame and snugged up nicely upon the final tightening of the bolt. Some have had issues with the hex nut being loose in the hole in the frame but for me there was no problem whatsoever.Installation was a breeze, due largely to my having the right tools for the job. It's a tight fit in there, especially for the upper bolt. Both are Torx 25 and I was able to use a stubby rotary wrench for the lower bolt and a flat angled wrench for the upper bolt.As for functionality, it does make a difference in the amount of felt heat but it's a modest one. In addition to use as a stand-alone solution, you might want to use it in addition to a few other heat mitigation efforts such as a tank lift, cooling deflector wings, external fans, etc.If you're angling for a means of reducing some of the heat you're feeling when you ride, I suggest giving these a shot. At this price there's very little risk. Since the functionality is identical to the costlier versions sold by HD, Advanblack, Hogworkz, etc., you can give these a shot, see if they work for you and if so pony up for the costlier color matched or OEM versions.

2024 Road Glide 3. The heat deflectors fit perfectly. Left side went on with out any problems. The right side, not so much. The hexagon crush nut spun as I was tightening the bolt to secure the heat deflector to the frame. I could not tighten or loosen the bolt. After a lot of maneuvering of my fingers I was able to pinch the crush nut against the frame and take the bolt out. I had to use a cold chisel to break the top of the crush nut then remove it. I contorted my fingers enough to get a regular bolt and washer in place and got the right hear deflector mounted and tightened. This would have been a dream install if the right side crush washer would have worked. But I cannot deny, the heat shields look good and they work.

Have a 2024 HD SG....these deflectors bolted right on. A perfect fit! My bike is the vivid black and these are a perfect match. Now just have to see how they hold up to the heat but first impression is a great one!!

Great Product, great look, easy installation

2017 Street GlideEasy to install, looks good

2018 RG worked perfectly. Install took 10 mins with proper tools. Has a tab to relocate wires which was a plus. Color matches!The lower mounts are loose but I don’t think they are loose enough to come out of the frame will update if they do.

Overall, the shields themselves look great and appear to be of high quality. However, as some others have already mentioned, the hardware is terrible. The nut certs kept falling out and I couldn't tighten the lower bolt. I habe bought several items from this brand and all have been excellent, except for this one.
