Exhaust Guard for 800 GS??

[RobbieO]

Does anyone know of an exhaust guard for the 800 GS??

There is a spot behind the stock plastic heel guard on the bike that keeps burning my new Klim pants...........

I feel you, it did the same to my rallye pants. There is not an aftermarket guard built specifically for the bike. I plan on making one out of carbon fiber, which may take a while because I am not home.

Besides this perhaps a universal guard. It is slim pickings for that area.

Put some header wrap on the pipe there?

Yay! These going up for sale or custom ordered?

The only thing I've been able to find is this one from Leo Vince.
$69 + shipping...

Ask Klim about shielding the pants. Some MC rain suits have a black material sewn onto the inside of the pant legs that doesn't burn or melt. GH

That thing might work far back on the 8GS. Personally I would not trust their product up the header, but back there I think they would hold up ok...

I think there are enough demand for a mould, and mass produce. I burnt pants before the arrow, came along, and I think it is an issue on the GS...... enough to make a mould, and hack away.....

Check out Black Dog Cycle Works. They make a guard for the 800. It looks good and works.
