Design
- Keep the heat out of your 790 shock with our heat-shield. A cooler shock improves your suspension performance and extends service intervals.
- In order to meet Euro 5 emissions, mounted a large catalytic converter on the 790. We're all for lower exhaust emissions but the CAT is located directly under the rear shock. The CAT can be several hundred degrees under normal bike operation and heat from the CAT increases the shock temperature. When the shock oil is overheated it goes through thermal breakdown. This process changes oil's viscosity which can lead to increased wear on moving parts and poor suspension performance referred to as heat-fade.
- Our aluminium heat shield is TIG welded and ceramic-coated. It mounts between the bike's CAT and rear shock to lower the shock's operating temperature. Less heat from the CAT means the shock oil stays cooler, service intervals are extended, Reduce the effect of shock absorber thermal attenuation.

I used a larger washer with the bolt to avoid breaking it like Joe did. The two bolts that hold the plate on are too long. It did not come with adhesive strip and I had to get some Gorilla tape from Ace. You get what you pay for, and at 15 bucks it's on par with quality for the price.

First offroad trip and it broke alreay, I do NOT recomend this product AT ALL.Also fix your advertising, actual piece I got was silver, not black as shown in advertising. Sticky adhesive is very poor quality. Had to put my own 3M soluble sided sticker.
