Ok so I'm doing a the intgrated blinker and am removing all the LP/Blinker black plastic. But the heat shield looks like hell sitting on top of the stock can. What do I need to do to remove it. Is it safe to run with it removed or should I just trim the part that you can see and leave the rest?

 

just remove all of the heat shield, its jsut a coupl eof screws and it will all come off, i have a 2006 1krr and has no heat shield on it at all and never had any problems

 

i just took mine off and trimmed it with a drimel and then put it back. looks better.

 

I just trimed it with a dremel while it was on the bike. Just got as far in as I could, just dont hit the pipe! Cant even see it now. But if I did it over I would probally just remove it.

 

I was thinking it would be no big deal to remove it..But it looks like i will have to loosen up the exhaust so i can remove the shield.!!

 

You will defnetly need toloosen the Exhaust,
so that you can get access to the screws on the side of the can.
I traced on the heatshield so that it would be flushed with the cowl.
I Removed it, cut it, sprayed it black, put it inand itblends perfect.

This way the tail looks fuller underneath it.

However depnding on what you get for an aftermarket exhaust
the canwon't be as hot,specially carbon fiber.

 

Thanks...right now I'm just leaving the stock can...but am looking a the Jardine Titanium/carbon dual outlet slip on

 

I have the CF version of this pipe. It is fantastic. Super loud..sounds like a v-twin when it is at idle.
