Sick of roasted nuts? ThePanigale Heat Shield Kitis an 11-piece, custom die-cut adhesive heat shield set designed to drastically reduce radiant heat from the seat/bodyworkof your899 & 959 Panigale!
An aluminized, adhesive fiberglass material is used to create the heat shields. It's capable of withstanding radiant heat up to 2000°F, and the adhesive can withstand temperatures of 500-600°F, so there's no need to worry about the material being damaged by heat from the engine or exhaust. The kit has undergone many months of development and real-world testing on several bikes in extremeSouthern California desert heat, and has held up perfectly!Zerodegradationof the aluminized surface or adhesive has been noted.
The kit comes with afull-color, 4-page instruction manual detailing the install process. Anyone with very basic hand tools and about 40 minutes can installit!
Check out the thermal imaging, which showcases a 15°F difference in seat/bodywork temperature after installation of the heat shield kit. These were taken on a FLIR thermal camera after a 40-minute ride consisting of about 30 minutes freeway, and 10 minutes on localstreets.
This kit has made me fall in love with my Panigale all over again. It's been the difference between nearlyselling the bike, and now planning to keep it for years. It's not a small investment, but giventhe significant development time, material cost, and benefits to your manhood (and womanhood!), I hope you'll agree that it's a great value!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSIsn't this just cheap aluminum tape?
The material we use is not aluminum tape! It's a flexible fiberglass material with an aluminized surface, similar to exhaust heat wrap. The amount of material required to make asinglekit costs over $60 onAmazon! And don't forget thehundredsof hours we spent creating the intricate shapes required to match the Panigale's bodywork, and testing our solution to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
Is the heat shield material safe & durable?

Where does all the heat go? Will the engine run hotter?
The plastic bodywork and seat are not designed to be part of the bike's cooling system, or to transmit heat. Installing the Heat Shield Kit keeps the heat in the rear cylinder, where the bike's cooling system is able to effectively dispose of it, as designed! We've performedcountlessmonths of hot-weather testing, and found the bike to run no hotter than normal! The only side effect is farless heat on your thighs and man parts.
Is the heat shield kit difficult to install?
The kit comes with afull-color, 4-page instruction manual detailing the install process. Anyone with very basic hand tools and about 40 minutes of free time can installit! Required tools include only 3mm/4mm hex keys, 8mm socket, and a flathead screwdriver!
Are the heat shields visible once installed?
Nope, the heat shields are installed on the inside of the bodywork, and are completely invisible once installed. Your bike's beautywillremain totally intact!
