Ducati 620 monster has knocking noise This issue occured when ever I accelerate and seems too come from the left side of engine, fluids are at correct level and I have a feeling it's the timing mechanism, any thoughts? |

How does it help with heat while sitting? I have no complaints when riding my 821 but as soon as I'm stuck at a light/ traffic for 5 minutes it gets ridiculous
Also did you use 1 roll or 2 for that? Sent from my EVR-L29 using Tapatalk |

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I haven't decided if I want to finish the rest of the exhaust or leave it as is, but I'm more more interested in my own comfort than what someone thinks looks good or not. That said, I like it. Also did you use 1 roll or 2 for that? |

As far as heat shields go, the stock heat shield is three layers of material. The innermost piece is the one that has heat shielding material on it, and does most of the work. The outside layers are mostly to provide a layer of airflow between your leg and the exhaust. As far as I know, the carbon fiber options simply replace the outermost layer (keeping the stock inner pieces), so I don't think it would make that much of a difference. I did notice a significant difference when I did a full-exhaust replacement. Overall, the bike definitely runs cooler, and the exhaust heat is less in many conditions. I also notice that the bike cools quicker when I shut it off at the end of a ride, indicating that heat is dissipating better. That said, I live in a warm climate, and when I get in a situation where the bike is running and not moving much, or after riding the bike hard, it is still plenty hot. My other bikes get just as hot temp-wise, but have bodywork and under-bike exhaust to keep the heat away from me. |

Yeah I rode my 1200 through Manhattan yesterday and I can rest my leg on the carbon fiber heat shield. Its not that hot. I have the carbon shield on top of the original black shield. I do also have a Comp Werkes muffler. Quote:
