SHOW US YA RIG!!

I wonder if anyone makes them to buy?
 
Phone cycle barn in Seattle they raced a Triumph Rocket it was black, so they did things to try to get the best time in 1/4 mile and putting aluminum behind the filters was one of them , if the same guys are there and they are still doing it , they would be able to cut you the correct size.
 
Or just make make a new talk thing , I would think some one on this forum as made one or can make one with there eyes closed,
But cycle Barn has proven this works to get a few more hp and torque then not doing. They said the bike is more happier and runs better not sucking in hot air and putting aluminum all across the back really helps.
 

Wondering . . .
Since aluminum is such a good heat conductor, I would reckon it to be not a good material to use for a heat shield. ???
 
I saw somewhere??? Bulkhead Heat-shield was the go. Looks like Aluminum but has a heat shield core and is easy to work with.

Good tip!
Many options for geat reflective material.
I would like to see some photos of one of these made for a Rocket.
 
Aluminum will stop the heat from the engine, I know it works I had my bear claw off riding with my 4040 K$N filters and I can touch the aluminum no problem with out burning my figures.
And this is one of the things they did so the filters don’t breath in all that hot air from the engine.
They said they did the same set up with out putting the aluminum
And it was big enough difference to continue doing it.
Test it out for your self but don’t use a flimsy thin piece of aluminum get like 1/8

That's actually the reason this photo was taken, for a charity calendar that never happened. I have enough for several months but not 12 just yet

Maybe i should resume that project and sell the calendars on here

Mate you should! I've been trying hard to find a decent calendar for my shed, tattooed women, women on bikes or both. Strangely in this day and age it's not that easy to find...
 
Hey Mikethepie,
I went to the metal shop to see my bike and took some pictures for you on how they put the aluminum back of the filters
