okay, gold shield with good air circulation and no cats....Hmmm, let me work on those parameters. Actually, I think the rear exhaust coming out right under the tank/seat area is the culprit. I would just like to redirect some of that heat without reducing heat transfer from the exhaust manifold or sending the heat somewhere it shouldn't go. I am just imagining for the moment a shield that would aim downward following the curve of the pipe, without getting too close or interfering with the rear shock. Hopefully, a good design would send a lot of that hot air down towards the wheel and dissipate it enough to reduce some of the lovely heat that makes for toasty thighs.

Paul, did you know that the first Israeli air force consisted of re-engined ME-109's. Bizzare! Nazi engineering saving jews...
