    Got the carbon heat shield to fit to the lower part of the exhaust. Looking for some info on what’s involved and what tools are needed for the job!!

    I’ve had a quick look and only one fixing is visible but the carbon part suggests a couple more. Does the lower fairing part need removing first?

    Pics to follow once fitted.

    Thanks in advance!!

    Where did you get your shield from mate, looks like a nice mod on Speedy's I've seen with them fitted.

    I’ve had a few carbon bits from CarbonFBR which were good but they had trouble getting stock of the heat shield so ended up getting that part from Conquest Carbon with the 10% discount given to forum members!!

    It should be easy as there's only one bolt and two tabs to locate.

    Remove the bolt then push the heat shield towards the front of the bike and it will slip off easily. You'll have to transfer the silicone inserts from the two tab brackets on the old heat shield to your new carbon one.

    I say "should be easy" because Triumph changed the position of the tabs for the 2018 bike. If you end up with mismatched parts, you may need to speak to the supplier, or adapt it yourself.

    Below you can see my 2018 original heat shield together with my 2016 carbon shield (from CarbonFBR). I moved the older carbon part to the new bike and had to fashion a bracket to make it fit.

    Fingers crossed that you have the right part for your bike :)

    Stop it! My bank account can only go so low.
    Looks really nice though. :)

    Ok so it turns out the part isn’t going to fit then

    I suspected that would be the case - it's worth making a bracket if you're up for a minor challenge.

    I practiced with a bit of coat hanger until I got the angles and lengths right...then used stainless steel welding rod (eBay) as it won't corrode. Bend it slowly with pliers (I used a vice) - the rod tends to snap quite easily if you try to adjust the bends too much, so perhaps buy spare lengths.

    The red tube is a piece of silicone hose which withstands the heat and prevents any rattles.

    Thanks for your replies!! Was hoping for something that would be a direct replacement so will prob just send it back and wait until the correct one is available!!
