Thanks all for the advice - they EVENTUALLY came off after 1/2 hour..&nbsp\\; Just got to decide - Heat Shields or no Heatshields&nbsp\\;!&nbsp\\;The lower rush slash down&nbsp\\;is showing about 1/4" of the clamp between it and the header shields but no big deal really. &nbsp\\;The shields will cover this up just can't get my head around best looking with&nbsp\\;or without them - looks wise. Regards. Jon

here is with. You can tape on and see what you like, just dont start the bike.&nbsp\\;Take some pictures. Compare and decide. I have removed mine and there were no scratches that can be seen but the muffler did yellow a bit underneath so they went back on. Also after a long ride they are cold enough to still touch and not burn.
