I am melting my right heel on my Leo Vince Y pipe.  Regardless of the rearset position (I have rizoma) my boots make contact.  I have tried header tape but it still gets too hot and melts the boot.  Can you post a pic of your solution?

Here is a pic of the bike.  You can see where the header tape is, my heel melts just above the two lower metal straps.



Thanks,
KNG

Sorry, don't know what kinda bike you're riding. On mine the heel guard does what it's supposed to. Do you not have a heel guard at all?

I have the same pipe and the same problem. I was going to take the heat shield off the Standard S pipes and get the brackets re welded on the spaghetti pipe. Looking  at the pics of the CF heel guards, I am going to cut the old brackets off and Ghetto them on with hose clamps now.

I wear leather boots so I don't have a melting problem.  Perhaps you could apply some protection to your boots instead of the pipe.

I was teasing...I can't think of anything that I need in carbon fiber except bodywork and there is no way that I can afford that! chug
