Best heat shield

Ducati Forum

The OTHER side of the story. This is the left side. So in essence, the engine disappears completely disappears. Plus, Ducati is making the dealers install it on any in-stock bikes. And if a new owner doesn't want it, they would have to pay to have it removed. I am considering having the rear part installed tomorrow while getting my wheels replaced. The two are unrelated. The cylinder one is mainly for your knees.

I talked my guy into letting me keep the stock termi header shield in the swap, and I will just collect the cylinder shields but not put them on.
 
my friend had his new full Termi carbon guard (matte) installed and it looked quite good. yes, a bit larger, but definitely looked ok.

That pisses me off, I just bought the gloss lower infils to much the current shield. Wonder if he will just let me take the parts...

This is the new shield. It comes in 2 parts as you see. The big advantage over any other, is there are 2 layers with an airspace in between. The bad news is it is quite heavy. But the good news, is there is a DP CF version available (haven't seen it yet- sorry, matte only). You will have to pay for the CF version, but installation is free, if you haven't had the plastic one installed. So this is defintely the way to go, and leave the other Batman chestplate pieces off the rear cylinder.

I have the new Ducati heat shield installed and I "think" I feel the difference. I rode the bike for 20-30 minutes and I didn't feel a thing. The reason I say "think" is because that first ride with the new heat shield was not my normal ride. I'll ride it again in stop and go traffic this weekend and report back with a true opinion.

Keep in mind; opinions are like A$$holes... everyone has one.

Just rode all day with the new heat shield and the heat is "less" not eliminated but "less". I should add that I wrapped the rear head when I first got the bike and its still wrapped. Therefore, I have the new heat shield and the rear head is wrapped.

My bikes at "our" dealer, getting wheels replaced and the new rear heat shield. I think, because I had some Stellas at the attached restaurant, and there's no telling what mods I told him to do :D

fwiw, he chose not to use the metal piece given that he believed it would not improve the heat factor. i'm looking forward to seeing the new matte cover (for stock/slip-ons) in person.

thanks, Trauma, for posting the pics.
 
question: why would the stock screws to the heat guard (aftermarket carbon, both CDT and RC) continue to work themselves loose/out? i've tried no loctite, blue loctite, red loctite. so far the red has worked best, two of the three (center and right side, looking at the bike from the rear) seem to have the most luck with. does that mean that the screw on the left is perhaps bottoming out against the pipe? it seems to reach proper torque without a problem. could the screws be too long? should i be using a washer on each? yes, it's become a bit frustrating at this point, luckily two of the three have remained on saving the guard from possibly burning.

thoughts? :confused:

thanks in advance, ;)

The bolts might bottom out on the pipe and are now to long as your aftermarket heat guard may take shorter bolts then the OEM guard does.
