Looks great! Thanks for the tip on the stepping bit.
I picked up a belt guard on ebay with the intention of drilling it. Haven't gotten around to doing it yet, but after seeing your shields I'm getting more motivated. Looking forward to seeing how your belt guard turns out.

I bought a stepping bit from Lowe's. It goes from 1/8" up to 7/8" in steps. It would work better with a drill press, but I don't have one, so I did it with my power drill. The holes aren't perfect if you look close, but nothing I ever do is perfect...
Also, I spent about an hour figuring where to mark the holes, then I drilled a 1/8" pilot hole. Then, after I was done with the large holes, I de-burred them with my Dremel Moto-Tool.
That stepping bit is the thing, though- it would've been a real pain with a normal bit.
I think I'm gonna drill my belt guard next...

I've seen the heat shields on the Nightster on page 58 (and again on page 62) ... the drilled belt guard for sportsters is on page 98 ....
The Sportster heat shields are on page 477 Screamin' Eagle Jet Black Buckshot Exhaust Shield Kit P/N 64924-09 ....
The Dyna black heat shields on page 481 do not come in the perforated 'Buckshot' style ... P/N 80821-10 ... only perforated black Dyna heat sheilds are the 'Tommy Gun' style for Fat Bob and Wide Glide ... P/N 65247-09 ....

Since I have the Kury Liberator pegs and stirrups (styled like a gun and bullet) and I want the silencer grips from HD.....I suppose that means I should follow the theme and go drilled.
