I put a temp gauge in the hole and for some reason it doesn't get as hot. If I did I would leave more leather on the heat shield so it went over the filler cap. I just wanted to still keep an eye on the oil temp.

Look's nice, I used the ones from Capt. Itch and they also do a good job. Sure seems to help while sitting at stoplights.
