2020 Rocket engine guard heat.

[Cooperman51]

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!!

Sonnie..

Ive used the same as you exhaust wrap with heat proof silicone, did not work at all gets just as hot waste of time. Ive now found a better heat proof idea Allan Millyard used it on his Viper motorbike heat sheilds....

Some heat resistance header wrap is too thick to work as it blocks airflow between the shield and header. I also added some fiber asbestos washers between the screws
holding the shields on. That further insulated the heat from transferring to the shields. 40 degree difference after a ride.

Anyone know the exact threading/size of the bolts holding the heat shields on? If I can find some longer one, I can allow for more room between the headers and the shields which should fix my issue.

Not seeing them on the website. Just the front mudguard and two rear pieces.

I’m riding it to often to send it out on loan but thanks. I would expect the carbon fiber to translate and retain less heat. I think the more rear foot position to be significant also.

Try to keep it below 140mph

I put a 1mm thick washer between my shield and headers and it made quite the difference. My extra heat shielding is no longer touching the header which was causing heat transfer to the shields. Got back from a ~80mph highway 20 mile run and they were cool enough to touch bare handed, but that was at night with ambient temps of ~65f.

I'd use a thicker washer but the bolts holding the shields on are kind of short.

I don't own a new Rocket, so I'm not familiar with the heat shields, but I've found that ACE hardware has an extensive assortment of stainless fasteners in both metric and SAE. Might be able to find suitable longer bolts.

I got my longer screws at ACE also.. Make sure u ask for stainless.

Yeah still in pre production, I will have first set.
