  • Motorcycle V-twin engine heat deflector
    Patent number: 6854542
    Abstract: A heat deflector for a Harley-Davidson™ v-twin engine motorcycle or a similarly designed and styled motorcycle having a similar v-twin engine. The heat deflector is mounted above the rear cylinder of the v-twin engine and between the leg of a user and the rear cylinder of the v-twin engine. The heat deflector deflects hot air away from the leg of the user and away from saddlebags that may be mounted behind the leg of the user bilaterally on the rear wheel of the motorcycle. The heat deflector provides greater comfort for a user on a long distance drive. It is constructed to blend seemlessly with the appearance of the motorcycle and it reduces condensation in saddlebags. The heat deflector of this invention provides much of the comfort of an alternative designed motorcycle with a fairing enclosing the engine while retaining the distinctive appearance of the Harley-Davidson™ or a Harley-Davidson™ type v-twin engine motorcycle.
