Actually, I left a fair bit of melted heel material from my near-new Dianese Goretex touring boots on the vertical exhaust tube when I took it out for a spin before fitting a heat shield. Right heel started feeling a bit warm in a long sweeping left turn, then got HOT. Cleaning fully baked-on boot heel off the midpipe was no fun.

I have sebspeeds rearset adapters and Vortex rearsets now that I think about it. That probably keeps my heels far enough away to not notice any heat. Looks like ducnut has the adapters as well

Do you feel much heat from the rear headers without the heat shield?  Sure looks better without it.

If you wear actual riding boots you wont even notice the heat shield is gone. If you're cruising in shorts and flip flops you'll probably feel more heat

Looking great Madfox! Are you running a Power Commander or Rapid Bike to get more fuel to the now-better-breathing engine?

 

 

 

I'm thinking I'll sell the Rapidbike and get a PCV. I cant justify the cost of the wideband controllers from RB when I'm not getting the full benefit of the Race module on the 5th gen. Turns out Mohawk knows best and i shouldve listened to his advice. So a RB Race module for 6th gen will be in the classifieds soon

Polished! Worth the effort. Seat of the pants dyno says it's making more power. Negative Nancy will say "more noise makes it psychological" but the effect is the same 😏

The gaskets were definitely challenging but I got mine seated with some swearing. Wish I could find a slimmer donut gasket for the 2 Bros midpipe but aluminum foil and copper gasket works for now.

I used these for the bungholios:

Many thanks to the Madmen that made this project come together!

Easy thing to check is sidestand relay.... bike wont start if it thinks the stand is down. Sometimes its the easiest solutions if you're lucky.

I've also had issues from corroded electrics... triple check all the connectors are cleeeeeaaaaannnnn.
