Riding in the Heat...Products to help you!

What can I do to help keep cool when riding in the heat?
Harley-Davidson® has many products that help you, your bike and your stuff keep cool. Check out this Harley-Davidson® technical info.
The main focus is proper air circulation. These products will help cool you on a hot summer day ride. 

MID-FRAME AIR DEFLECTOR
The Mid-Frame Air Deflector is designed for severe duty and extreme temperature applications. It will improve your comfort during the summer riding season. It comes with all of the required mounting hardware.  It works like this:
    -Inconspicuous black deflectors attach to the frame and surround the top of the rear cylinder head.
    -The scoop shape captures the moving air and uses the flow to direct the heat down and away from you and that helps to improve your comfort. 
You can get them for Dyna® and Softail® models. 

MID-FRAME DEFLECTOR TRIM: is injection-molded trim that adds a touch of chrome to the Mid-Frame Air Deflector on Touring vehicles. This accent trim blends well with the chrome from the engine to give the deflectors an integrated look with your motorcycle.

VENTILATOR WINDSHIELD 
With the use of side-mounted vents, you can adjust the airflow from the Ventilator Windshield to match your riding conditions. Opening the vents will redirect the air across your chest for a cooling effect and closing the vents will provide maximum wind and weather protection. 

CIRCULATOR SEAT AND BACKREST PAD
The 3D construction of the Circulator pads promotes air movement and reduces heat buildup where your body touches the seat or backrest. Designed to keep you cool by reducing the perspiration buildup between you and the seating surface, the Circulator Pad can be installed or removed in seconds for easy cleaning. The low-profile design minimizes seat-height change compared to inflatable pads, while enhancing comfort
with its shock-absorbing construction. Manufactured of UV stable materials, these pads resist fading when exposed to the sun. The elastic under-seat strap and non-slip base provide secure installation. A complementary Circulator Passenger Pillion Pad, which attaches to the rider pad with hook-and loop tabs, is also available.

FAIRING LOWER DETACHABLE HARDWARE KIT
A great way for you to beat the summer heat and prepare for around-town cruising is by
removing the fairing lowers on your Ultra Classic® Electra Glide® model. This kit includes highly polished stainless steel clamps that are detachable without the need for tools.

FAIRING LOWER SOFT STORAGE BAG
Convenient storage bag offers the perfect protection for fairing lowers that are removed
for hot-weather riding. The Fairing Lower Storage Bag features a heavyweight 10-ounce
cotton exterior and sturdy carrying handle. Dual zippers open to expose a soft felt
interior with a sturdy divider for left and right lowers, and two zippered pouches for loose hardware storage. A classic, embroidered Bar & Shield logo adorns the bag exterior.

MOTORCYCLE COVERS
Motorcycle covers, such as the Harley-Davidson® Oasis Day Cover, will do an excellent job of keeping your bike cool and protecting it from UV rays while it is parked. Lightweight and compact for travel, the easy-to-store Oasis Day Cover rolls into the built-in bag. With rear hook-and loop closures, the cover can easily slip over your motorcycle’s antennas, and the elastic bottom hem and footboard stirrups ensure a snug fit.

SADDLEBAG COOLERS
Perfect for hot summer rides, the Harley-Davidson® Saddlebag Coolers are fully lined and insulated to keep beverages cold. These zippered bags conveniently fit right into your existing saddlebags and have room to keep up to twelve 12-oz. soda cans cold. Available in Slant or Square Style.

SADDLEBAG GUARD BAG AND WATER BOTTLE HOLDER WITH BAR & SHIELD LOGO
The storage section of the Saddlebag Guard Bag features a hook-and-loop outer closure as well as a zippered inner closure to keep items such as sunglasses, wallets and cell phones secure while still allowing easy access. This bag also features a removable water bottle with the Bar & Shield logo, providing convenient access to water anytime on long rides, making it a great warm-weather product.
