Harley-Davidson heat protector with sugar skull
Available for HD Touring Models and Softails, 500s and 750s. For Sportsters, please send us a picture of your bike with the seat off, so we can see how and where it attaches to the frame. After we get this information, you’ll get an email from us on how to proceed.
Description
This Harley-Davidson heat shield with sugar skull embossing is made of beautiful buffed bridle leather. It has a ply of split leather (Suede) on the bottom, so nothing can scratch your motorcycle. Both layers are glued together with industrial cement and stitched around the edges. Then we emboss it with our sugar skull design, leaving a border to add studs or a tooled border.
In order to install your Harley Davidson heat shield with sugar skull embossing you remove your seat. Take your heat shield and let some lukewarm water run over the top layer for about 30-60 seconds. Line up the opening in the heat shield on the frame so the tang of the seat can insert into the frame. Put your seat back on. The wings will stick out at first, but will “relax” the more you ride your bike with it.
The care for your leather is very important as it can curl when it dries out. Treat is like your best pair or shoes with a leather conditioner that contains beeswax like “Aussie” or “Skidmore” from Fiebing. The beeswax will repel water and protect from the sun rays. Keep a close eye on the leather and give it the TLC that it needs according to the climate you live in.
Please post your installed heat shield on our Facebook page. We love to see your bikes.

Received it Saturday, went for a ride Sunday. I am totally impressed. I had heard good things from friends before I got mine, and I am so glad I finally ordered one. It blocked the heat so well and on a hot, sunny day in Arizona, that is a beautiful thing. I will recommend this to anyone who asks.

Searching for an accessory that would let me ride and not burn my thighs to a crisp. Stumbled upon Captain Itch. YOU SAVED ME!! Not only does it look amazing, but I am riding more as it’s much more enjoyable. I plan on purchasing more from you down the road.
Wish you guys made small touring bags for the fender.
