Does the heat shield extend far enough around the bottom to avoid scorching from under-seat exhausts (2012 Street Triple R)?

I have a Yamaha FZ6 with under-seat exhaust and I've had no issues from the exhaust heat. Also, I think the bags are great. I've had mine for a a year and a hlf.

My bags go on a 2006 CBR600RR so I can't answer that about your bike, but mine have no issue with being burned or melted by the exhaust.

Not for my comfort level. I bought some of that reflective heat shield foil tape and wrapped it around some rock wool to create a little fire-proof insulated pad that I taped to the bag's heat shield. That would rest right against the exhaust heat shield and kept the bag protected. This was on a DR650 which had similar exhaust placement. Those bags didn't hold up to the beating I delivered crossing wisconsin on ATV trails either. They only lasted one trip (1400 hard miles). Could last years if you were very gentle.

I actually traded my 2010 Heat for a 2011 Detonator. It leaves about a 3 inch space between it and the back seats and I wondered about that since the cover I had in my Caliber left no gap. But no one can see what's under it when looking through the back window.

I have mine on a Can-Am ATV and am not sure how hot the exhaust gets, but I have it real close to the pipe. Only thing about mine is that we ride in deep water and some of my shield is coming loose. I do think it's an excellent product though.

This kit will not come out more then the factory exhaust. You may want to consider purchasing a longer tip for the kit which will extend the exhaust out past the quarter panel.

My grill has cover over the flames. And it is about 5 in above the flames no issue...

Most of the heat comes from the sides and not the back. I don't know how that will work in your situation.

The ones that stick out are mounts for your heat shield. The other 2 that don't stick out are for your O2 sensors.

It only comes with a back heat shield..and only covers half of the back. The bottom portion is left uncovered.. The original top and bottom front heat shields will fit on this. However, the back heat shield included with this part will have to be modified in order to work on the 2005 2.5L. I bought this and had to beat the shield in order to get it to fit and I still couldn't get it to work. It keeps hitting the back pipe in front of the engine. I gave up.

I am using a front ds for the rear but you have to extend it.. I am using black gas pipe to extend mine with....

I dont think they have. Try to look for intake with heat shield like K & N. But Takeda is fine even without the heat shield

The heat shield is used to deflect heat generated by the burner from the O-ring seals next to the valve. Without the shield, the seals won't last very long.

Steph , yes the heat shield can be usedto close off the engine compartment from the inner fender. This makes the most sense if something hot is close by like the exhaust etc. The only negative is that the shielding may be visible from outside the car as it is shiny. Missing inner fender seals and liners can be bought from the auto dealers and auto recyclers and being black and a direct replacement will not be noticeable.

My car had leather seats with more leather covers, and I put this setup between the two very successfully. I would do the same with your setup. the heat provided is good for heating the body, but should be insufficient to cause harm otherwise. There is no timer, and that's not great, but otherwise a great install, and a very complete kit. I wired mine into the power seat wiring, and found a spot on the seat's side molding for the switch, and that way it's all self contained in the seat.

Yes and no. Yes because it is reflective and deflects the heat. No because its flimsy not really stiff enough to hole its self up. You could you use the visors in the RV to keep the shield up

I would say yes- as my windscreen sits way above my handle bars--you seem to have reverse situation with higher handle bars. I had a lot extra material left over after covering my bike

Don't know about your Jag, but it's not deep enough to grab the sensor on my Rav4 without taking off the heat shield and the longer, deeper socket type of O2 sensor socket is too long to fit as it hits the fan cowl. The heat shield needed to come off my engine to pull the O2 sensor out. If you have clearance, I'd try the deeper socket type of socket if you want to keep your heat shield on. I had to rip my heat shield off but the repair was made and the heat shield is back on a little worse for wear and tear.

I am no expert. But it seems to me that as long as your exhaust pipe is not 90 degrees - anywhere - and that the distance to outside is short & it is away from overhang, you're OK. ....
