Sick of roasted nuts??!!
The Panigale Heat Shield Kit
is a custom, die-cut heat shield set designed to drastically reduce
radiant heat from the seat/bodywork of your Panigale / Streetfighter V4! It works with all seat configurations- stock, comfort,
racing, etc.
NOTE: OEM bodywork, subframe, seat are not included- only the extended right side engine cover and heat shielding material!
An
aluminized, adhesive fiberglass material is used to create the heat
shields. It's capable of withstanding radiant heat up to 2000°F, and the
adhesive can withstand temperatures of 500-600°F, so there's no need to
worry about the material being damaged by heat from the engine or
exhaust.
The kit has undergone many months of development and
real-world testing on several bikes in extreme Southern California
desert heat, and has held up perfectly! Zero degradation of the aluminized surface or adhesive has been noted.
The
kit comes with a full-color instruction manual detailing the install
process. Anyone with very basic hand tools and a couple hours to spare
can install it!
Check out the thermal imaging, which showcases a
huge difference in seat/bodywork temperature after installation of the
heat shield kit. These were taken on a FLIR thermal camera after a
40-minute ride consisting of about 30 minutes freeway, and 10 minutes on
local streets.
Prior to developing this kit, I was convinced that
it was impossible to daily ride a Panigale - it was just too hot and
uncomfortable. This kit completely transformed that view! It's not a
small investment, but given the significant development time, material
cost, and benefits to your manhood (and womanhood!), I hope you'll agree
that it's a great value!
