Benlari Gloss 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.

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!!

2009 road glide fitment is good! I did receive the hardware however I would advise to go get your own. The clips provided will not tighten up the nutserts did work so i flushed those. Go get yourself 4 stainless ¼ x20 bolts and a few ¼x20 spring clips and lock washers. After having the hardware both sides installed in less than 30 min.

Works great on my 2025 road glide

Easy installation

Installed on my ‘23 RKS. Install took 4-5 minutes per side. Very simple. Threaded hole already in place for top fasteners, and the nut inserts installed and fastened without issue for the lower fastening points. The black matches the black on my bike perfectly. Surprisingly very rigid/sturdy. 10/10 for the price point. Definitely keep the passengers legs a little cooler. Highly recommend.

Pretty but hard to install

Fast shipping, fit well street glide 2024
