Description
Melted vinyl and singed webbing are a rite of passage for anyone who has run a saddlebag too close to a hot exhaust, usually on a bike with a header that runs further back than expected. Giant Loop’s Hot Springs Heat Shield exists to stop that from happening again. It is a simple brushed aluminum barrier that sits between your exhaust and your luggage, keeping bags and side panels from ever making direct contact with a pipe that can easily hit several hundred degrees on a long ride.
- Brushed aluminum construction handles sustained exhaust heat without warping
- Creates a physical barrier so saddlebags and side panels cannot touch the pipe
- Simple, low-profile design that mounts without major bike modification
- Protects your investment in soft luggage from a preventable heat failure
- A practical add-on for any bike where the exhaust runs close to where bags sit
Once you have watched a strap or bag corner melt against a header, you stop taking the risk twice. This shield is cheap compared to replacing a scorched saddlebag, and it takes the guesswork out of routing straps around a hot pipe on a bike loaded for a long trip. IPD Racing carries the Hot Springs Heat Shield for riders running soft luggage anywhere near the exhaust.
