Mid-Frame Air Deflector

Thanks, easy with the black! I like the cosmic blue, I saw it at a different dealer after I got mine. I'm sure you could get them done by a good painter. A guy at work has the pearl grey and they look nice too. It may cost more to paint than the parts themselves though!
So do these actually push air into the engine forcing the heat down or does it just " shield" the rider?
Money spent on mid frame air deflectors would be better spent on an after market tuner instead. Upon riding my Dyna, I immediately noticed the heat coming off the engine, and I installed the Harley mid frame deflectors. They do work to keep it cooler, somewhat. However, I also used a Vance & Hines FP3 to tune the map, and the heat dropped even more. Now, with my street glide I just used the FP3, and I have no issues with heat. Mid frame air deflectors treat the symptoms, a better tune treats the disease- these bikes come from the factory horribly tuned to meet the clean air standards.
I think it does most to shield the rider during stops or slow riding.
I have done the popular things to reduce heat, these are just one part of the fix for me.
Look at thefactorymatch.com , you can order them painted. That's what I plan on doing.

I think they helped tremendously! I bought these a couple months ago.

Thought they looked better than the matte black ones from Harley.

Yes. Kind of a bitch to get my hands in there to tighten the screws. The right side (sitting on bike) deflector touches the top of the head just a bit but haven't seen any issues yet.
