I bought a new 06 1000rr and they threw in a micron slip on. I put the fender eliminator kit on it today. Will it hurt anything if i take off the heat shield under the seat? It sticks out a little and doesent look good. Anyone know what the best slip on is for the 06 1000rr? I dont know if i like the micron.

 

You can cut off the last little bit and it will be fine. I had mine cut off for over 10,000 miles and 3 trackdays and all was good. There are 2 little tabs the hold up the end besides the allen bolt on the end of the tail.You can cut it off at that point and it will hold up fine. I just did the same mod to my 07 Repsol. I also painted it with high heat ceramic black paint. I'm waiting on some film to develop and I'll have up some pics soon.

 

the Micron is nice but the Sato makes the most power

 

i got a leo vince titanium, just took off the whole heatshield and havent had any problems

 

THANKS GUYS! I was tolded the micron would get louder the more i broke it in????? It came free with the bike so no complaints.

 

Yeah i just took the whole heat shield off. no probs yet!!

 

I have the 2bros vale, no problems, I took the whole heatshield off.

 

got the Full CF Jardine..took out the heat shield no issues..u can go to home depot and buy the heat shield tape..but I only added it the right plastic cover under ur left calf area... went on two 500 mile group ridesno issue..
good luck

 

I took offthe heatshield and lined the area with COOLIT adhesive heat resistant tape/pad.....if anything it saves a few lbs by removing it.

 

Trust me, it'll get louder. I've got a Micron twin outlet and after 6000+ miles, it's louder than it was when it was new.
