i have all the bolts out and my bike is in pieces and the da#%heat shield won't come off---where the bolts came off on the left and right side is where my prob is there's no room for the shield to squeeze between the frame and the bracket on the stock pipe!!!


i thought this was a 15min job!!!

 

[Reediculous]

Which heat shield? the one above the muffler? Or the midpipe?

above the muffler

i don't cam on me---pic. this two bolts on the side of the stock pipe---these bolts also hold the shield on---between the frame and the stock pipe is barely any room for me to slide the heat shield off----if you have removed the shield how did you do it---i have an 06

There is another bolt inside the compartment under the pass. seat. Towards the rear brake.

that bolt also is removed----every bolt is removed---its getting it off now which is a b&%$#---it will not slide off

 

[rocketscience]

And you already lowered/removed the muffler? It should just fall off.. If you didnt lower the exhaust at least, forget about it. Gotta do that.

Hey this thread really helped since I am doing this very soon. Thanks!

Do you mind me asking why you removed it? Was it to put an aftermarket exhaust on? It doesn't seem to look bad at all with it.

Woohoo! Got mine right off tonight.
