  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Silencer heat shield for FMF pipe?

Searched the site / internet for this, but not finding what I'm looking for. I just ordered an FMF power core 4, and I've been searching for a heat shield to protect it a bit. My stock muffler has quite a few scratches and dings and I would really like to avoid such things, if possible on the new can.

I'm looking for something exactly like P3's heat shield they have for the Akrapovic can. Anyone have experience using the P3 with an FMF, or know of something similar that will work?

I just installed one on my 449 with the pc4. It fits ok i think and will do the job since there is really nothing else out there. The 2 bottom mounting holes do not line up right so u could cut and reweld them or take the easy way and buy 2 of the clamps from P3 as well. If you go with the clamps the hose clamps that they come with were to short but i did wrap mine first not sure if they would work with out the wrap. The other thing was it touches up by the FMF sticker not sure if that will be a problem don't think it should be but i did but a piece of heat wrap there.
 
Ok cool. Thanks for the reply. Scott from P3 said pretty much the same. I think I'll try and make it work.
 
Yea he sent me a email about it asking how it worked out. I would send you some pics but it is in the shop right now. Should have it back this week if you want to see it on there first.
 
Thanks so much for the pics, big help! I can see what you mean about it touching up at the top of the can. So the silencer is melting it? Maybe I can get a longer bolt and space out a 1/2" or so? Looks good though!

* Ahh, it's the header tape under the shield. Got it :)
 
I tried to space it out some and just could not get it to work out. I did not try it yet but I might be able to roll the bottom 2 clamps and get some space there but i really not think it is going to be a problem the way it is.
 
Vust,

I would love to know how it work out for you. If you and Khaaf are happy with the shield, I will more than likely order one as well.

P3 heat shield was delivered today. Went on with out much problem. The clamps from P3, do not fit the slip-on. I had a larger 1/2" clamp on-hand, so no biggie. Just dremeled one of the standoffs. I did use one of their clamps, as the 1/4" width was necessary to fit next to the FMF's welds. It's really close, but it works! The top of the shield does ride a bit on the pipe. I'll do like Khaaf did and add some header tape under it.

Overall, I'm very happy with the full setup. It looks fantastic on the bike. Bonus pic of the 7602 Racing radiator braces too.

Wow, that looks really good! Thanks for experimenting for the rest of us, at least we have an option now that the factory silencer guards are impossible to get!
