1299 Akrapovic Heat Shield

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by Squadra Corse, Aug 19, 2017.

  1. Newbie on here! Hello :)

    Just wondering if anyone would know if it's possible to fit the Akrapovic Heat Shield around the standard exhaust pipes? I have the Akrapovic slip-ons only. Probably going to be a road bike only so just a bit of carbon "dressing" really....

    Cheers
     
  2. Short answer, no, tried it and it looks shit, doesn't follow the curve of the standard pipe, I ended up buying a r Carbon heatshield.
     
  3. Thanks for your reply. I was told by the seller that it did fit but I had my doubts. Can't be bothered going to the trouble of replacing the pipes for a road bike really so just cosmetic. R Carbon? Who are they or was that a typo?
     
  4. It will fit but looks all wrong,i fitted a standard panigale r carbon heatshield.
     
  5. Is this on a 1299? So an 1199 R shield you mean? I'm a bit new to knowing what is interchangeable between an 1199 and a 1299. Do you have a picture at all please?
     
  6. The 1199r comes with a carbon heatshield as standard and will fit the 1299.

  7. Cheers thanks for that..
     
  8. I have one of the akro shields but its gloss and I'd prefer satin. Is it just a case of rubbing it down with emery to satin it up? Or should I just put up with it? Ta in advance.
     
  9. Never could understand why the Akra stuff is gloss, I would take it off over winter and get it lacquered in matt, I sanded the gloss carbon heatshield off my multi and it is ok, at some point I will spray it with matt lacquer
