Title: Heat sheild Post by twelveport on 12/24/13 at 10:10:52 When I got this bike it was a salvage job & had a Harley muffler on it. They had a custom bent tube about 8" long with a 1" or so off-set. I think this part of the exhaust tube is stainless. It turns a ucky brown from the heat & if I'm not careful it will burn my leg. I already have brown spots on my jeans from the heat. A friend of mine suggested instead of chroming this piece, to find a heat shield for it. Any thoughts here guys?

Title: Re: Heat sheild Post by Serowbot on 12/24/13 at 11:09:08 Yup,.. we mostly cover the joint with a cheap $10 heat shield... They're available all over the place.. most bike sites, stores, and E-bay... Here's a flamey one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-Flame-Motorcycle-Chrome-Steel-Heat-Heel-Shield-Cover-Guard-Exhaust-Muffler-/111244589610?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19e6b1ba2a&vxp=mtr Oooooh! Flames!...  :-?... http://teammadetrade.com/ebay/chuengleo2010/97407727/1%20(5).jpg

Title: Re: Heat sheild Post by twelveport on 12/26/13 at 13:59:42 Thanks, I'm still shopping for one that will cover the off-set, maybe one that is larger on one end than the other.

Title: Re: Heat sheild Post by Badass94Cad on 12/27/13 at 08:45:20 That style fits with the Harley mufflers.  It ends as the muffler tapers larger.  And it looks way better than the huge stock shield.  (Mine is sans flames)

Title: Re: Heat sheild Post by twelveport on 12/27/13 at 13:19:37 That looks real good, same type of muffler. But for some reason the dealer in Dubuque IA who supposedly done the salvage on this bike put a 1" offset and that pipe is about 10" long. Not sure why they done this, but sometimes it is just easier to live with it. I have my eye on a heat shield from JP Cycles. Still looking around. I like the looks of yours better.  :-/
