One of the issues in attaching any type of luggage system to a bike is the muffler. This item does a good job of roasting anything near it. Enter the Muffler Heat Shield. This little item forms a protective barrier between the rear end of the muffler and your luggage or coat that you attached to the top rack or pannier brackets. It is a simple item that can be installed in minutes yet saves hundreds of dollars. What is the value of a soft bag or jacket with a 2 inch hole in it? Right, not much. It is formed out of aluminum sheet with attach brackets in the inside to space it off the muffler about .3 inch / 8 mm. Attach hardware included.
