Pannier fitting heat shield

roadburner · Post by **roadburner** » Thu Jun 04, 2015 9:56 am

Started fitting my pannier rails earlier and most of it is straight forward but I'm struggling to figure out whether the heat shield on the left side goes back on, and how. I could wait for the fitting instructions to arrive , but they're on back order from Germany (at the astronomical cost of 50p + vat), and I want to go away this weekend. Its a boxer cup with de-cat pipe if that makes any difference

Fitted mine recently and the heat shield does not go back on. Just keep it somewhere safe!!

The fitting instructions aren't great

Thanks for the answers, that's pretty much what I expected. I would like to keep the heat shield, as I'm sure there's a reason that BMW put it there in the first place. Not bothered about the pillion getting hot legs, but don't want the paint to blister. Its already happening on the belly pan.

The heat shield isn't supposed to be fitted with the pannier rails - don't know why but it just isn't. You weren't heading north on the M6 near Charnock Richard services on Wednesday night just after 8pm were you? RWB Boxercup going north with panniers and top box on

No, wasn't me on Wednesday, but its amazing how many of these you see considering that there's only supposed to be 40 left on uk roads. I spent 3 months until I found a RWB BCR, and then saw another one at devils bridge on the day I bought it.

About 6 or 7 years ago I used to see a RWB Boxercup around Carlisle - never got to find out it was someone from here

I saw that for sale about that time, went to the dealer next day, and he'd already sold it. Its taken me that long to finally get my hands on one

Now you mention it, I went into Hein Gericke in Carlisle and he asked me if I'd just bought mine from a dealer in Carlisle

That may well have been me, I ran that store from 2004-2007.
