I made my own out of duct insulation materials for about $3. Works great. |

The one above is from al @ asb. I have the 6inch version and just recently (after the 10k service) I noticed a new weird rattling sound. Looked down and one of the screws for it was gone. I dunno if they did it during the service or it just worked itself out. Found a couple replacement screws and the one that was missing is stripped,So I either have to drill/tap it to the next size up or just run it with one screw. |

Do you mean exhaust heat shields or the under seat heat shields? |

Buelltroll: Is the American Sport Bike one long enough to keep from melting your pants on the pipe? I've ruined two pairs now on my Uly and am looking for a solution. |

I dunno I've never melted my pants with it on there so.... Then again I never melted my pants without it on there either.... It does get pretty much as hot as the headers(I found out trying the new screw)so.... |

Is the exhaust shield meant to keep pants from touching the pipe only or can you tell a difference from the heat radiating to your right leg). Is there a version without holes that would trap more heat but not is much as header wrap does? |

Since the exhaust header shield is connected directly to the header with aluminum, heat is conducted easily into the shield itself. I installed header wrap around the pipe under the shield to prevent this easy heat transfer. The shield is now very effective. |
