What were the stainless steel zip ties for?? Is it related to your heat shield? Thanks for this.

It's getting expensive repairing Gore-Tex riding pants with a hole in them at the right calf of my leg!! Definitely going to give this a try!! Great post!

The right side of the engine gets pretty warm during summer riding season, so to cure 90% of the heat I did the following.
Removed the stainless steel heat shields from all 3 headers and lined the insides with exhaust header wrap using silicone gasket sealer as an adhesive.
I cut the heat shield fabric to 1/8 in. smaller than the exact inside dimensions of the shields so u couldnt see the material ..

It works sooooo well, you can actually touch the shields when the engine is very hot, and its just warm to the touch. Triumph engineering, are u listening!!

I recently bought the forward controls for my R in black which came with GT shields in black. I liked them but were a little too much so I had a brainwave to try putting both sets on the bike. I like the result.

I just used M5 x 12mm stainless button head screws with a loose stainless nut as a spacer, waiting on torx screws to replace.
