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

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.

Worked perfectly

Good fit. Nearly spot on color match to my vivid black 21 street glide. Only took about 4 min. To install both. 10mm and some blue lock tight and everything is alright.

installed them quickly and looks great on my 2024 Harley Davidson Street Glide.

Best pair I’ve ever bought. Extra durable and good paint.

Installed on a 2016 Street Glide Special. The right side is a bit harder to install and is easier to install from the left side reaching under the frame. I had to use the clips that were provided to secure the bolts in the upper holes, as mine did not have the bolts welded to the frame. Worked great, virtually felt no heat on the left side and greatly reduced the heat on the right side. Definitely worth the money.

Hardware is absolute trash. During installation of the nutcert, the nut cert rounded out during the swage. It is a hex profile nutcert, that when swedged,uses the hex profile as backup to provide force to swadge. Nutcert, washer, and bolt were then stuck in my motorcycle frame. Had to use a hacksaw to cut loose, scratching the frame. With out this nutcert fulling swaging, this part would have shaken and rattled when installed. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

Easy to install. Looks Great and Reasonably priced!!However, the lower nut on the left side needed to be modified because it didn't stay in the hex hole on its own. The right side fit perfectly. Easy fix...
