Heat Shielding Experiment

[atomsplitter]

That's a shame that Triumph feels that the new 2.5L owners should endure extra "oven roasting" during warm weather rides...

It's only noticeable when stopped, like waiting for a light to turn at an intersection. When moving there is absolutely no issue. If it was there all the time that would be different. I've learned to hold my right leg further out and back a so it's tolerable at stops, even in warm weather.

Well my new Motocomposites heat shields are on and I noticed they offset from the header about 1/4" more than the OEM metal shields. They are foil backed so my guess is they won't explode into flame. If they can get the furnace temperature down to just mildly unpleasant from its open pit roast I'll be happy.
This is the BEFORE:

Has anyone used DEI heat shield liners? Powersports - Exhaust Heat Shield Liners - Design Engineering, Inc
They don't have a kit for the Rocket yet, but they have a universal one available Heat Shield Liner - Small Universal Kit (Cut to Fit) that has to be cut to fit.
