    Does anyone know if any company out there makes a carbon fiber heat shield to replace the black "tin" one that is behind our right pillion/brakes? I think a carbon fiber one would look very cool and I saw where these exist for 5th gen but didn't see any for 6th.

    They're included with the LeoVince exhausts, but I haven't seen one for sale separately.

    I am not talking about the small vertical "strip" that attached to the downpipe. I am talking about the circular disc that the right step and brake switch assembly attach to.

    when you say carbon wrap, do you mean taking carbon material with adhesive, wrapping it around the part, and then applying lacquer?

    Thats the heat shield, I suggest not coz the temp on that thing is quite high if u using stock pipes. I did carbon wrap on the vertical exhaust guard but part of it is worn away due to getting rub by my boots.
