Fuel Tank Heat Shield
The first time I worked on my bike about 6 weeks ago, I discovered the fabric heat shield was badly deteriorated and crumbling all over the motor. Needless to say I removed it. Of course the first time the bike hit 250* the tank and fuel got hot. I ended up ordering up an 18”x18” Moose Racing fiberglass/aluminum backed stick on heat shield right away, but has been on back order for awhile. Finally showed up today so I got it installed right away. The size was perfect. Didn’t get it completely centered, which will probably drive me nuts even though you can’t see it. 
Hopefully it does its job and keeps the tank cool.

Can you flesh out this concept? How does that work?
I mean, fire is very hot by nature.
Because fuel molecules, like water and most other liquids, expand more and more the hotter it gets. Colder fuel means denser fuel, which translates to more HP. Hot fuel also leads to detonation and pre-ignition problems from running too lean from the fuel not being dense enough, which if gone on for too long can lead to catastrophic failure.Can you flesh out this concept?

The gold looks awesome (yes, I know, you can't generally see it
)... do you have a link for where to purchase that? Was just replacing the battery in my Monster and the black sound deading/heat shield stuff is falling apart big time.Thanks
