I've been using the Rhinowalk exhaust heat shield on my Kawasaki KLR650 during rides throughout Northland, New Zealand, including sealed roads, gravel roads and longer adventure rides.
Installation was straightforward and only took a few minutes using the supplied clamps. Once fitted, it feels secure and has stayed firmly in place, even after plenty of rough gravel and corrugated back roads.
The heat shield has a clean, quality finish and looks great on the bike. It integrates nicely with my luggage setup and doesn't look like an afterthought.
Most importantly, it does exactly what it's designed to do. With soft panniers mounted close to the exhaust, the heat shield provides peace of mind by protecting the bags from exhaust heat and preventing any signs of heat damage during long days in the saddle.
Simple, effective and well made. If you're running soft luggage on an adventure or touring motorcycle, this is a worthwhile accessory that does its job without any fuss.
