DEI Heat Sheilding

[Ashville_Tee]

So I’ve ridden about 500 miles since installing heat shielding from Design Engineering Inc. My subjective experience is that the shielding is well worth the modest cost. The factory cover over the mufflers is warm but you can put your hand on the shield after an hour of steady riding and it is warm to the touch, but not hot enough to burn. The same can be said for the center black shield, warm but comfortable to touch. The cat cover is still very hot to touch, but does not radiate heat like it did prior to installing the heat shielding. My riding is principally mountain roads at between 3 and 4 k rpms so the engine is well warmed up but not hot. I do almost no “city” driving or stop and go. We consider being four cars back from a traffic signal a traffic snarl, so I can’t weigh in on the impact this shielding will have in city traffic but I can attest to a difference in comfort pre and post installation.

I concur the shields make a marked improvement.

I just ordered a set. Can't wait to set it up.

Good to know..

Thanks! Just ordered a set. I have a 2022 but I'm pretty sure these will fit Heat Shield Liner - '19-'21 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE & 1200 XC

i installed that on my 2019, i noticed a bit of a temperature drop but if you have a 19-21 by which the cat is up front under the first heat shield, it wont resolve the issue.
But it does help a bit

The best heat shield is mx boots over the calf.

I have the DEI installed on my '22 and it helped a lot but it still gets roasty. However, if I'm wearing mx pants (Klim Dakar) then I don't notice it at all.

Most folks aren't interested in wearing MX gear all the time but the heat is really unnoticeable with pants.
