Side cover mod - winter head start

I wanted something smaller, showing more frame. Actually I'd prefer plastic, but it's so much easier to cut into carbon so Jeff at MonsterParts sold me a pair of Carbonworld covers (along with a few other items....)
Tape them up, draw a pencil line, Dremel'ish cutting wheel, grind/sand, silicone mesh in place... finished.
(hoping the clear coat won't start going rough on the edges, in which case I'll hand coat them with epoxy)

What does this have to do with the Pipe Mod?

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Looks cool. I did my stock belt covers that way a couple of years back. Good job.

The pipe ugliness isn't as bad live, but still not pretty
I've been through countless options, but nothing I've seen allows my feet this close to the pipes....
Custom CF instead of the rusty mesh maybe?

I didn't mean
your

*shudder*
can't recall where off the top of my head, but I know I've seen universal CF heat shields for pipes, they're the rectangular kind, with hose clamp looking things to fasten them to the pipe

Seen them, but still a lot wider from the pipes + I'd need a curved one for the lower s-pipe.

Yes - those are next
Probably not the mesh though - I won't risk the mesh coming off.
