Title: Bending a chrome heat shield + pad question
Post by DrunkenDwarf on 06/10/09 at 06:09:36

First Question:
Is it possible to put a flare on one of those 7" chromed heat shields?
Like this one: Cobra Heat Shield 2" (http://www.amazon.com/COBRA-HEAT-SHIELD-2-99-0165P/dp/B000GU7M8M)

I'd like to bend/flair out one end from the clamp down so it won't rub on my Dyna muffler.

I don't know if that's possible without destroying the heat shield.

Second Question:
Those little pads on the inside of the foot peg heat shield...what are they called? Can I buy them?

Just thinking of ways I can dampen the heat shield covering my Dyna adapter against the header/muffler.

The link looks like they are radiused but not flared. But I know what you mean.

Run a strip of heat wrap under the shield clamps. That will raise the shield maybe 1/16". Maybe even double the wrap right under the center of the heat shield for 1'8" raise. More than that and you may need the next larger diameter heat shield.
