Because of these doubts i am just making the thin steel plate protection to go between the bags and exhaust plastics.
I will show some pics when finished.
G'day there Ni3ous

I'm currently trying to fab up some basic frames just to keep the bags from swinging inward and to secure them better. The plastic covers over the exhaust stay quite cool even once the exhaust is hot.... this i think was yammy's intention of this design (to be able to throw soft bags straight over the back).
Scratches!..... if i get any! doesn't matter, she won't stay pretty for ever

cheers
