Easy Install, Reasonable Price, Looks Great!!
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...

Almost perfect for 2024 Road Glide 3
2024 Road Glide 3. The heat deflectors fit perfectly. Left side went on with out any problems. The right side, not so much. The hexagon crush nut spun as I was tightening the bolt to secure the heat deflector to the frame. I could not tighten or loosen the bolt. After a lot of maneuvering of my fingers I was able to pinch the crush nut against the frame and take the bolt out. I had to use a cold chisel to break the top of the crush nut then remove it. I contorted my fingers enough to get a regular bolt and washer in place and got the right hear deflector mounted and tightened. This would have been a dream install if the right side crush washer would have worked. But I cannot deny, the heat shields look good and they work.

Super-Easy Installation on My 2024 Street Glide
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.

Worth every penny!
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.

Installation is a pain
The heat shields look great, but are difficult to install. Right side shield required shaving/sanding in order to install top bolt. On the left side shield, the bottom insert for the bolt had to be fished through from the inside. After all the frustration to install, I am happy with final appearance of the product.

That'll work
Went on easy, looks good, took me maybe 15 min to do both sides.
