Sick of roasted nuts? TheV4 Heat Shield Kitis a custom, die-cut heat shield set designed to drastically reduce radiant heat from the seat/bodyworkof your Panigale V4! It works with all seat configurations- stock, comfort, racing, etc. The kit includes the full set of custom-cut adhesive heat shielding pieces, as well as an extended engine cover for the right side of the bike, along with installation hardware!
NOTE: OEM bodywork, subframe, seat are not included- only the extended right side engine cover and heat shielding material!
An aluminized, adhesive fiberglass material is used to create the heat shields. It\'s capable of withstanding radiant heat up to 2000°F, and the adhesive can withstand temperatures of 500-600°F, so there\'s no need to worry about the material being damaged by heat from the engine or exhaust. The kit has undergone many months of development and real-world testing on several bikes in extremeSouthern California desert heat, and has held up perfectly!Zerodegradationof the aluminized surface or adhesive has been noted.
The kit comes with afull-colorinstruction manual detailing the install process. Anyone with very basic hand tools andacouple hours to spare can installit!
Check out the thermal imaging, which showcases a huge difference in seat/bodywork temperature after installation of the heat shield kit. These were taken on a FLIR thermal camera after a 40-minute ride consisting of about 30 minutes freeway, and 10 minutes on localstreets.
Prior to developing this kit, I was convinced that it was impossible to daily ride a Panigale V4- it was just too hot and uncomfortable. This kit completely transformed that view! It\'s not a small investment, but giventhe significant development time, material cost, and benefits to your manhood (and womanhood!), I hope you\'ll agree that it\'s a great value!
