Got home from a ride, plugged into my battery tender then noticed some melted plastic on my heat shield.
It was about 100 degrees yesterday, and I did do quite a spirited run for about 100 miles...
But, still wasn't expecting this to happen:
Any ideas on how to prevent this, or do they make larger heat shields for the 916/996? and or heat shields that cover this bolt head up? It seems like a combo of the bolt head getting to hot and my boot being so close to that exhaust.
Probably one more run like this without some additional shielding and I'll have a 1/2 dollar size hole in my sidi's =(
