Looking Cool
Avon Lake, Ohio based heat and sound management specialist Design Engineering has a selection of options to help dealers help their riders to eliminate the danger and reduce the discomfort of excessive exhaust heat.
DEI heat shield liner kits are easy to install liners for the back of the unlined factory exhaust heat shields.
No adhesives or modifications are required, so they are a fully reversible install, and are said to be able to reduce the heat radiating through the stock heat shields by up to 50%. Custom fit kits available for stock and aftermarket head pipes on Harley, Indian and Triumph models, with universal application cut-to-fit kits, also available.
DEI's popular titanium exhaust wrap can often be installed with the exhaust still on the bike and heat shields can be installed over the wrap to maintain the look of the motorcycle. Also able to block 50% of the heat radiating through the pipes, they offer 360-degree coverage for increased heat reduction.
Finally, DEI's titanium exhaust sleeve does require removal of the head pipes and flanges, but can also be installed over the sleeve to maintain the look of the motorcycle for a 50% reduction in heat and 360-degree coverage. These sleeves are a perfect option for use when installing a new exhaust or servicing an original.
