heat shield for 2007 mod

Hi Guys

Had my 2007 mod for about 3 months . Don't know if anyone can help me but here we go ''

I have aftermarket pipes (staintune) and because the size of the pipes are larger the original heat shield doesn't fit .

I'm talking about the one just behind your right leg running down near your calf .( I'm burning my riding pants on the exhaust )

I'm more concerned about the look off the bike . I'm told by Honda here in Australia they don't make one .

anyone know were I can buy one in the US ????? what do other rides do ??

thank you .. :thumbsup:

 

I kind of like the look of the Targa perforated heat shield:

They come in a variety of colors.

You can probably find a number of different ways to add a heat shield onto it -- most universals should fit with an appropriately sized hose clamp.

Post up some pictures when you get one!

 

no way to mod the stock one to fit?

 

How does the stock one attach? My bike came with a set of Microns so I don't have a stock setup to play with but want to add a heat shield strictly for cosmetic reasons.

 

The stock pipes come with the heat shiels around the out side of the exhaust.

I was referring to the pipe between the wheel and foot pegs (maybe it'd be called a midpipe? before the Y)

Mine is bare just like this picture I found on google:

I had staintunes on a previous 6th gen and the lack of heat shield isnt an issue, I never got burned.
IMO Honda only fitted the heatshield to the original pipes cos it was cheaper than polishing the pipe.
The leo vinces I have on this bike do have a heat shield, FWIW.
It would be fairly easy to fabricate some brackets using stainless pipe clamps and reuse the original honda one, but I wouldnt bother.

 

Thanks elwray . just like the pic you have in the link . I'm more concerned about the look ( but burning holes my RST riding pants isnt good )

The staintune pipes were put on by the previous owner So I don't have the original shield ,

taken a pic of the pipe so you can see what I'm talking about . Go to my Photo Gallery to see ( can't work out how to place a pic in post just yet )

cheers
