Marsrut Gloss Black Mid-Frame Air Deflector for Harley‑Davidson Touring 2001–2008 — ABS Heat Shield, Bolt‑On Fit

Marsrut's gloss-black mid-frame air deflectors are a direct-fit accessory that redirects engine heat away from the rider’s legs for a cooler, neater-looking Harley-Davidson Touring bike.

If you ride a Harley-Davidson Touring model from 2001 through 2008 and want to reduce thigh heat while improving the bike’s mid-frame appearance, these mid-frame air deflectors are made to fit. Constructed from sturdy ABS plastic with a vivid gloss-black finish, they tuck into the area under the seat to close the gap and smooth the profile, while included mounting hardware makes installation straightforward for most mechanically-inclined owners.

How do these deflectors reduce heat at the rider’s legs?

The mid-frame deflectors channel hot air away from the rider instead of letting it funnel toward the thighs. By creating a barrier and redirecting airflow, they decrease the amount of radiant and convected heat riders feel during long stops or slow traffic.

• Redirects exhaust and engine heat away from mid-frame area
• Reduces direct airflow of hot air onto the rider’s legs
• Helps maintain a cooler contact surface near the seat

Will installation require drilling or permanent modification?

No drilling is required for installation on compatible models; the deflectors come with the fasteners needed to mount them. The kit is designed as a bolt-on accessory, so removal or replacement is straightforward without altering structural components.

• Supplied with bolts, nuts, and washers for a bolt-on fit
• No cutting or permanent frame alteration needed
• Removable if you choose to revert to stock appearance

• High-strength ABS construction for impact resistance
