Hello it seems that I am always burning my boot on my two Bros exhaust, looking for a heat shield that will look nice, anyone have any recommendations.
-
Maybe something like this:

Hey Corey!
What you need is TBR single heat shield, part #005-812. I got mine from Tony@Blue Streak Racing.
Lately, his pricing is on par with US or better.....
-
Thanks Tom I will give him a call today.
-
I used hose clamps and the shield from the stock pipe on mine.

Gen 1 bikes don't have a stock shield.

That is true, but he has a gen 2

I didn't see the year of his bike listed

It is convenient when people list the year of their bikes.... now if we could just get everyone to do that!

Ain't gonna happen.

We should set an RSS feed to the NSA. I am sure they have that information.

Your request has been delivered.

For the record, he has gen 1 in black, same as mine.

jwolffie clearly states "Black 2011" in his signature. Conrad replied to jwolffie saying "Gen 1 bikes don't have a stock shield. " I replied to that saying he has a gen 2. You are now replying to me saying he has a gen 1...
But I see what happened. Conrad was [more correctly] telling jwolffie "although you used the stock heat shield on your gen 2, the original poster has a gen 1 and gen 1 does not have a heat shield".
There. Fixed.

I have a 08 with area P slip on, I have never touched the pipe with my boot but the bottom of my foot gets super hot. So this weekend I stuck some HVAC foil tape to the bottom of my boot and problem solved .. for now. 8)
-
Really, you put a heat shield on the bottom of your boot? I'll need to see pictures of that. I run an AP (CF) and I don't feel any heat through my boot. But then again, I haven't paid that any attention. Now you've got me paranoid (more than usual).
-
Keep in mind this guy runs with Pokey.
-
Yeah, just figured that one out. I tried taping sandpaper to the bottom of my boots once. Didn't work out too well. I think the grit was too fine.

What exactly where you trying to accomplish with the sandpaper Jim?
-
Had three feet of snow on the roof back in the mid-90's. Got worried and decided to push it off. Got what I could off with a step ladder and decided I needed to go higher. Had the great idea of taping sandpaper to my boots to keep me from slipping. Got up on the roof, took a couple of steps, and said :censored: ! Next thing I know I'm pulling an Al Bundy falling past a window with the family watching....thankfully into a snow bank. In retrospect, I think the grit was not coarse enough.
-
OK, blame it on the grit. Did you see my sig line?

How many drinks did you have before getting that brilliant idea? :P

Totally cold sober, unfortunately.

Yup swear to God it worked. Pokey even said I was nuts when I told him about the heat but I think it the way my boots are made mostly, that's why I don't want to mod the bike in anyway. I currently wear JoeRocket big bang boots the y have a solid black rubber sole which transfers heat really well. Here's your pic you ask for...LOL

Hasn't been on long enough to give durability results also have not tried it in wet conditions yet either.

ops double post

hey I resemble that statement :P
-
Do your exhaust link pipes run under the footpeg or something?
I have a 2Bros on mine and have never had this problem.
I've never touched the pipe with my size 16s although have dragged the toes on a few occasions.
-
Holy :censored: 2talltim! That probably doesn't last long if you are walking much, I take it?

That was obviously a before picture. We did about 170 miles Saturday and walked around a couple stores and it is dirty a scrached up a bit but nothing is peeling off yet. This a tape is really durable and very sticky. It was a freebie roll from work so im not out any money if its a total fail.
-
Why don't you wrap the pipe?
-
That's a really odd solution.........but if it works for ya :)

All this confusion... :doh: I thought your reply was in regards to OP's bike!

Every time I read this thread I hear this song in my head...
The Mike Curb Congregation-Burning Bridges-Kelly's Heros (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCjWQHpu3bY#)
Which makes me think of that movie.

And how does one get the burn marks off the exhaust?

Yeah, I know it's a cruiser but the same principle applies...

It would also be slippery as hell.
I have enough problems with slip even using a soft rubber sole... that would be a nightmare.
