Benlari Chrome Mid-Frame Air Deflectors for Harley-Davidson Touring 2009-2024 — ABS Heat Shields, No-Drill Install

Benlari Chrome Mid Frame Air Deflectors are bolt-on ABS heat shields that reduce engine heat at the rider’s thighs and tidy the under-seat area on compatible 2009–2024 Harley-Davidson Touring models.

These mid-frame air deflectors are designed specifically for a range of Harley-Davidson Touring bikes and pair with CoolFlow fan kits (P/N 26800120, 26800121, 26800128) to redirect hot airflow away from the rider. Constructed from durable, non-rusting ABS plastic with a chrome finish, they fill the gap beneath the seat for a cleaner look while providing thermal insulation where it matters most. They come as a single set with the necessary mounting hardware for a straightforward, no-drill installation.

Which Harley models are these air deflectors compatible with?

These mid-frame deflectors fit many Harley-Davidson Touring models from 2009 through 2024, including Street Glide, Road Glide, Electra Glide, Road King, Ultra Limited, Tri Glide, and CVO variants when used with the specified CoolFlow fan kits. Note the exception that they are not compatible with the 2023 Street Glide Special.

How do these deflectors reduce rider heat and improve comfort?

The primary role of the mid-frame air deflectors is to redirect hot engine and exhaust air away from the inner thighs. By channeling heated airflow downward and outward, they lower the direct heat exposure to the rider, especially useful on long, hot rides.

• Blocks hot air that would otherwise enter the inner thigh area
• Works with CoolFlow fans to improve airflow management
• Helps maintain a cooler, more comfortable ride during summer months
• Reduces heat soak into motorcycles’ seating area

What are these deflectors made from and will they hold up?

Benlari mid-frame air deflectors are molded from high-quality ABS plastic, chosen for its strength, impact resistance and resistance to rust and cracking. The finish is chrome-styled to match common Harley trim, while the material itself resists long-term weathering and road vibration.

• Durable ABS plastic construction resists rust and cracking
• Chrome-styled surface for a coordinated factory look
• Engineered to fill the void beneath the seat for visual tidiness
• Designed to withstand road exposure and routine use

Is installation difficult and what hardware is included?

Installation is designed to be quick and user-friendly; the kit ships with the self-locking nut needed for the two lower bolts, so no drilling is required for typical installs. Basic hand tools are usually all that’s needed, and most installers can complete the swap in under an hour.

• Comes with all mounting hardware required for the typical installation
• Includes self-locking nut for the two lower bolts to prevent loosening
• No drilling required for supported models and configurations
• Instructions are not included—carefully inspect packaging for small parts

Who is this for: Riders of Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles from 2009–2024 who want a simple, durable way to reduce engine heat against their legs and improve the under-seat appearance. It’s ideal for owners using compatible CoolFlow fan kits who prefer a bolt-on solution made from non-rusting ABS material and a chrome-styled finish. Confirm your year and submodel compatibility before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
