I was reading online somewhere and someone said something about with the Two Brothers exhaust you can remove the stock heat shield by the tail which would look alot better. Is this true? Is this true with any exhaust that you know of?

 

You can remove the heat shield regardless if you get an aftermarket slip-on or not.

 

Transamlt1man,

I have the 2bros' on my 1KRR and I removed the heat shield. I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I have 4k+ miles on my CBR since removing the heat shield. I didn't add any of the heat shielding tapes or any special paint, just removed the old shield and rode.

Hope this helps.

I recently installed my Two Brothers Exhaust (which was fun to do) and I didn't put the tail heat shield back on under the tail, i did put the one that runs along the mid pipe back on. I haven't had any problems with it.

 

Have a 07' put a Leo Vince SBK/carbon slip on. Took both heat shields off, looks great for cosmetic purposes,have had no problems! Granted nobody ever rides on the back but their is about a 3/4 inch clearence from theslip-on to the rear seat so it has plenty of ventilation. as for themid pipe...haven't burned myself, could put some heat wrap around it if you ever encounter that kind of problem later.

 

i have it on my 07 cbr.... i took all of the heat sheilds off, and my gf doesnt say it gets hot... and it looks awesome.. ill post up some pics

 

on my 05 600rr i installed a yosh stainless and i told of the mid pipe shield and the heat shield up top of the muffler. i have had no problems.

 

what i did was get some metal tape and stick it to the battery box right where the muffler sits and you will never have a problem, the tape is the same that honda uses for the side of the battery box, dont know why they dont just put it all over the underneath
