Design Engineering Inc. builds thermal management products — exhaust wrap, heat shielding and reflective barriers — used to control the heat a V-twin puts into the rider and surrounding components.
The DEI Heat Shield Liner Kit for 2009-2016 Harley Touring (FLT) models is designed to significantly reduce exhaust heat transfer. These CNC-cut ceramic-fiber liners fit precisely between your exhaust pipes and OEM heat shields, lowering surface temperatures for a more comfortable ride. Experience less leg heat, especially in traffic or during extended rides.
Riding your Harley-Davidson Touring bike should be a comfortable experience, but radiant heat from the exhaust can often detract from it. This DEI Heat Shield Liner Kit provides an effective solution by insulating your factory heat shields. The ceramic-fiber liners are precision-cut to fit perfectly, blocking heat transfer without requiring any permanent modifications to your motorcycle. This means you get improved comfort without altering the classic look of your FLT.
For Harley Touring riders, especially those who frequently encounter slow traffic or take long trips, managing exhaust heat is key to comfort. This DEI Heat Shield Liner Kit offers a straightforward, effective way to achieve that. It's a practical upgrade that makes a real difference in ride quality, allowing you to enjoy your FLT even more.
Will this kit fit my Harley Touring if I have aftermarket headers?
Yes, these liners are compatible with aftermarket header systems as long as they retain the OEM FLT stock heat shield configuration. Systems with custom heat shields may not fit.
Does installation of these liners require modifying my bike?
No, installation does not require any permanent modifications. The liners are designed to slide between the exhaust pipe and the existing heat shield.
Will these liners change the appearance of my exhaust?
No, the DEI Heat Shield Liners install discreetly underneath your factory heat shields, so they will not alter the visual appearance of your exhaust system.

Installed these on my 2016 twin cooled Ultra Limited with the SE 103 to 110CI big bore kit and Vance & Hines power duals, after the big bore kit installed she started running a little hot, so I bought these and installed them. So far I have ridden 100's of miles on hot Florida days and they seem to work. Yes I would recommend these, combine them with a fan assisted oil cooler and a less lean tune and you beat the heat.
