Yup, they still get hot... but not as.
Also, they cool pretty quickly when you shut it off.
Much faster than just pipes.Official Herd Dumbass

It not so much the heat shield itself Eric, its the air space between the pipe and the shield that makes it cooler! If ya just install a pair of shields on your present pipes you should be good!Originally posted by Eric The Welder View PostOLD SKOOL BIKERS RULE, WE DO WHAT IT TAKES AND LIKE IT!!!

Shields make a huge difference Eric....I've considered new pipes, and losing the shields, but I havent wanted the extra heat, so I kept them on.......GU.S. Army "Retired"
