I haven't heard anyone talk about naming their car or motorcycle in about 15 years, so do people still to that?

Sure Gerald, my pleasure. The heat shield is made from a 2in diameter piece of stainless pipe, drilled, sandblasted, and painted in ROCCO-APPROVED flat black Cheesy

I cut the pipe lengthwise with a band saw so that the cross section is a "C" shape, then lined each end of the shield with about 1/8in thick copper. The copper strips keep the shield off the pipe, and the soft metal won't damage the chrome. I stuck the copper on with a JBweld-like compound. There are no straps or clamps. It just takes a firm push, and the "C" shape keeps it on.

Here's the zombie blaster where I got the idea. The shield and hole diameters are in about the same proportion, though I changed the hole pattern a little.

Hope that inspires someone to cook up their own one-off bit of bike bling.
