Aren`t there universal carbon fiber heel guards that you can buy for like $60 U.S. They just come with two hose clamps that the heel guard screws to. That will solve your problem and look decent doing it. I forgot who has them but I think one of the sponsors on here sells them also.

I'm sure MotoWheels have them and I might try that later on, although I'm not sure they will handle the sharp bend on the lower s-pipe. (?)

Contact el matador, he could fashion up some Carbon fiber heel guards to your specifications for you.

that bike looks awesome, sure looks mighty hot for Mr. Righty though!
Actually heat wasnt an issue on that bike what so ever..
I applied about two cans of high temp paint before I wrapped the pipes.
And I even wrapped the pipes that went thru the bike (a.k.a under my ass) twice to keep the heat down.

Check out this place. I have no first hand experience with them. I just came across the site one day.

Yeah, I have that one bookmarked. I don't see one that bends the way I need though. Did I miss it?
Thanks anyway [thumbsup]

Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

This worked for me - just ordered a extra heat shield, painted it flat black, got a couple metric clip nuts, SS button heads and fiber washers an SS worm clamps at the local hardware.

Thanks, that's encouraging..... I thought the shield would be obstructed by the s-bend.  :)
