I loved the pipe on my old sport bike, the titanium headers and collector could be screaming hot but with the carbon fiber "muffler" you could lay your hand on it and not get burnt.

I'd buy carbon fiber heat shields if I could find them.

I've had good luck with cooper wool, it is soft and won't leave scratch marks. YRMV, good luck!

Like my dad always said when I would ride his bike.
If you fall throw your body underneath the bike.
You will heal, the bike will cost me money.
Gotta love pops.
