P500 For Sale: Rubber Noise/Heat Shield

[trigger]

Hey Trigger,
Installed it today and it fit great! You are a genius! I had to make the areas on top where the seat clips in a little wider but everything else lined up perfectly. As I said before, you should sell these on eBay. You saved me loads of time and effort. Thanks again! I tried to add some pictures below....

Glad you like it Jonsey! Funny that you had to make them wider, I actually tried just doing little holes for the pegs to poke through on one of the early ones but it just didn't sag right. Trying to keep it tight in that area to form a seal but I guess doing a little adjusting is better than having a gaping hole. Report back on the performance once you've given it a proper test and thank you.

Like the way it comes, easy to trim with scissors for custom cuts. Warm days here and shield coming into its glory. Used a scrap piece to make a rubber gasket for water hose. Thanks. @trigger.

My Trigger Shield came today , can't wait to get this installed. This is some heavy duty rubber , nice product @trigger !!!!

 

[Chooglin]

Finished up the install , took about 15 minutes. Now all I need is some hot weather down at the Takeover to test it out.

Well it's been awhile since i got the shield but I finally put it in. Took the 500 for my first ride and it worked great. I didn't notice any heat coming up from the seat and the noise seemed lower than without it. Now I just have to figure out what the 500 is capable of doing since I almost always ride alone.
Thanks Trigger!

Wondered how you were going to cut around that new console bracket? Nice work! Diggin' that sticker too.

Just a little something I added to the Trigger shield , not that it needed it , everything fits and works fine without these!!!!

I took a few pieces of thin wall drain pipe and removed a section out of it , so I could use them as clamps , to secure the rubber that folds over the cross bar in the back. I didn't want to zip tie them so I came up with this idea........ I made up 4 of these!

Now that's a great idea! Mine just friction fits under the box back there but that pipe gives it a more finished look. I might be doing that, what size pipe 1.5"? Paint them black!

The inside dia. Of the pipe was 1.375 and is thin wall pipe for a bathroom sink drain! Definitely painting them black or may go buy some pipe that is black already.

That’s a great idea. When you say get it in black, do you mean ABS?

Whatever I can find that is black and thin wall.........ABS , PVC......

I’ve only seen ABS in black, it’s used in mobile homes and RV’s, but it’s typically more brittle than PVC. I think you’ve got a great idea, just spray those pieces you’ve already made black, IMO.

Or Yellow

You going to start selling them? The Trigger Shield ought to come with them...so you sell them to Trigger. He sells the whole kit to us peasants!

Sounds like a plan

Good tip clipping using sink drain pipe, wondering if something like splitting a hose would work also. Will check the garage for leftover plumbing supplies. Thanks.

I'll bet split hose would work too.
