I have removed all the horrible plastic heat sheilding from the engine and zorst and it now looks like how nature intented. Only issue is the warranty poilce say I need some heat sheilding on the exhaust otherwise I could fry the fuel pump or something so I will need to put something back on. I did see a picture of a bike with a "mini shield" that only covered about the top third of the circumference of the pipe but I'll be damned if I can find it now. Any one have any suggestions for a good looking heat sheild for the exhaust? Cheers.
there's a thread about wrapping here..looks interesting..... Anyone thought of doing exhaust wrap? - Ducati 1199 Forum
just a guess...the wrap retains the heat....the pipe runs hotter....the extra heat effects exhaust life.
Well finally got round to wrapping the exhaust and removing all the heat shielding. Before with all the 'orrible plastic..... After with the exhaust wrap and the plastic engin covers removed.....
