What do you guys do with the heat shield (sheet metal) that is left exposed when the rear fender is taken off? I’m sure you have all see the FE that is being used a lot for the 07s.
When the rear fender is taken off and not replaced (obviously) the heat shield is a bit wider than the rear fairing can cover. It looks a little bit unsightly. I do plan on adding a slip on at the beginning of next season, just wondering what others have done to make it look a bit more appealing.
Thanks

Here is mine: I didn't even use the stock heat shield. A bunch of people have been telling me that its not necessary and the exhaust doesn't get hot enough to melt anything.

+1 on that ive heard nothing but good things on that stuff i just figured i would go without it for a little while and see if i could find anything that was melting but so far nothing is. ive been on alot of 1+ hour rides and nothing so far, but im pretty sure the carbon has something to do with it also.
