Motorcycle Exhaust Heat Shields

There are many memorable moments in motorcycling that all riders will experience eventually. Burning yourself on the tail pipe doesn’t have to be one of them. A motorcycle exhaust shield makes sure of that. These shields do exactly what the name implies: protect your body from the hot exhaust gasses exiting your motorcycle and heating up the pipes along the way. One thing’s for sure: A long day in the saddle will be made much more comfortable with these add-ons in place.

Seated atop a motorcycle is a hot place to be, no matter if you’re on a screaming sport bike or comfortable cruiser. The motor alone is going to generate a lot of heat, which radiates outward and upward and puts you and any two-up passengers in an envelope of warmth. Deflect some of that with a heat shield for your motorcycle’s exhaust. These shields that cover portions of your bike’s pipes are made from a number of high-performance materials, including carbon fiber, fiberglass, polycarbonate and powder coated aluminum. Installation is generally straight-forward, can be done at home and made even easier with universal options from Cycle Gear. These exhaust pipe shields have visible contour and bolt holes that clearly show where they are supposed to fit. Sheets of heat shield, which can easily be cut to custom fit your bike’s exhaust pipe, raises the universal factor.

You can upgrade your entire exhaust from header to muffler, but it’s still going to get hot and wrap is actually intended to trap heat for performance gains. It’s at this intersection where heat shields for your exhaust are going to provide some creature comfort in the loud and fast world of motorcycling. Pick one up today from Cycle Gear!
