The Heat Deflector is constructed of aluminum. The outer surface is a vinyl that matches the grain of motorcycle's seat covering and is bonded to it's  Aluminum surface; providing a look as an extension of the seat.

For Custom Applications, leather can be substituted for the Vinyl Covering that We use. However, this will
 Void the Products Warranty. Leather is subject to shrinkage when exposed to long periods of constant heat. Also, if your seat covering is other than black in color. We can attempt to match it for you. You must provide a swatch, (a small sample) taken from the underneath of your seat and send it in with your order. Photographs would help us in determining the color and matching of the seat's style. Though we will strive to do a perfect match of your seat covering, please note that the finished product may vary slightly.

The Heat Deflectors give a distinguished look as an extension of the seat, unlike any import motorcycle styling.
Decorative studs or other materials, ( fringe, braids, conches), can be mounted along the edges of the Heat Deflector in a way that conforms to the appearance of the motorcycle or the decorative options of the owner.

The Heat Deflectors are mounted with an Industrial Strength Velcro, which has an adhesive backing formulated to withstand the constant and intermittent heat. The Velcro is also pre-positioned on the Deflectors to allow for the ease of installation.

The Heat Deflectors can be easily removed for the ease of cleaning your motorcycle or on a ride when you didn't bring your chaps or even to lock away, to prevent theft.

In addition to appearance and functionality. The Heat Deflectors greatly reduce the amount of heat that contacts the saddlebags. Resulting in the virtual elimination of condensation that has long been a misfortune for the Saddlebag Compartment. This will eliminate the need for liners that accommodate items stored within the Hard Saddlebags.

The Heat Deflectors are probably one of the very few after-market Products that don't require you to remove anything from your motorcycle for installation. This applies to stock and some custom seating. On other types of custom seating, the seat will have to be loosened for installation.
