A few photos from this morning. Harder than I thought. Had to do some grinding to make it fit. 21200212012120221203212042120021201212022120321204

BTW, where can I get a black heat shield to match the exhaust? 2015/2016?

Looks sharp Yikes. It looks like you have a similar gap as I did after the install between the heat shields and the lower cover. Curious what you had to grind?

I had to grind inside of the front of the pipe, so the coupler would fit in. Looks like the paint made it too narrow.

How do I close that gap?

Assuming the lower cover is fully seated in all the doo-dads at the header area, I'd suggest sliding the heat shield forward if you can any, assuming the muffler tabs will still be mostly seated in the stirrups. I did mine with torq loopz (still working on getting it right :icon_redface: :banghead:) so mine's a slightly different beast. Different attachment points for the shield and lower cover. With all the trouble I've had, if I can get it back together with everything else good, and I still have that gap, I'm going to call it a success and ignore it.

Where does the heat shield attach?

Hi-temp flat black paint...works fine.

Is that a 2004 or 2005 EB Rune next to the F6B?

Get a can of VHT paint and paint yours

You have to take the heat shield off in front of it first and the front cowl.

Sounds like a pain. Perhaps a project for a rainy day. I'll pop the HS off, paint it, and line it up better.

Question: Is the 2015 HS compatible with a 2013?
