• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hot foot

Ok, so after riding with my feet on the highway pegs, my right foot started to get real hot. After looking for a solution I found you could make your own heat shield so I did and it works great. I made it from a cookie sheet and used high temp primer and painting to match on the bac side I used a heat shield tape available at a auto parts store. Here are the pics

I think Lamont first posted his cookie sheet design way back in 2010... good to see it recycled.

I posted my wife's first heat deflector design around the same time

This was cut off of a garbage can.

The second was a rubberized deflector

I like the way you used the rubber flap, would you happen to have a templete of it ? I've been trying to get the same shape but not having any look.

I made mine easily removable. Trust if you use pegs you will have to block off the dragon mouth!
You do not have to make one from what I made one out of (the junk BRP trunk shelf), but the principle of making it removable is the same.

Strategic cut outs for notches and using the cover to hold it in place.

She bought the second deflector from Avon Rubber products. When I tried to find a web site for them I saw a very different kind of rubber product so I guess they don't sell these any longer.
