Mid-frame air deflectors are one of the easiest installs anyone can do.
Why
If you're feeling like you're getting entirely too hot when it's 100° outside, these are for you. They're designed to redirect the air from the back cylinder away from the seat.

The install
Installation couldn't be much simpler once you have an idea of which side goes where.
- Take off the seat.
- Swap out the bolts that are already on the frame for the bolts included with the kit.
- Put the bolts through the bolt holes on the air deflectors and tighten them down onto the frame.
- Reattach the seat when done.
Easy.
How it rides
The difference was very noticeable. Before they were installed, I'd feel like I was burning up down there constantly, even on a 70 or 80 degree ride. Once I got them installed, I noticed I didn't sweat nearly as much down there.
This is a must-have for anybody who has sensitivity issues or tends to rash up down there.
Tip
- Figure out which side goes where first.
