P500 For Sale: Rubber Noise/Heat Shield

[Aerolite]

Just installed on our 520, super easy and fit great. Just had to do a bit of trimming at the back bar where upper seat mounts go but very easy to do. I have a Tusk rear window and just cut a couple of slits for the window ties to go around the bar which then held the shield down as well. Didn't even need to use any zipties after doing that. Took 20 minutes to do the job.
I'll report back on how it works after a ride or two.
Thanks Trigger!

I added my name to the list this morning, super easy and Trigger responded really quickly to me this morning. Thanks Trigger! I’ll post back once it’s installed.

For those with the Trigger Shield, sharing this P500 oil filter access tip from a while back. No more removing plastics, just flip up the rubber.

P500 - Make oil changes easy!

After pulling screws and pushpins repeatedly every time the oil needed to be changed, I decided I'd had enough and did what Honda failed to, and cut an access hole under the seat: Might go back and add a flap later, but for now, all I gotta do is just reach down and remove the filter. If you...

I just finished installing Trigger’s heat shield into my 520. I had the same experience as Aerolite above... it dropped in perfectly and just needed a little trimming along the rear top bar. Calling it an install is a stretch... I basically set it in place, pulled the seat belt buckles through, and put the seats back on. Super easy. Also, thanks to trigger for super quick turnaround. I contacted him last weekend and had it here in VT on Wednesday or Thursday afternoon. Thanks Trigger.

Did a good first ride yesterday since installing the shield. I'm happy with it so far. Definitely dulled the engine noise, and though there was still a bit of heat coming from the seat belt area, it is nothing like it was, so should be good in the really hot days. There was no dust as we have had a lot of rain so will have to see how that goes. But I can say for certain that no steam gets through the shield, we hit a lot of water and I could smell it but we got none in the cab. Just having no steam coming in is worth having the shield. Great add on for sure, and I will also be doing what @Mudder suggested for the oil filter access.
Thanks again @trigger for making these!

I knew it was bad timing on this, no one is concerned with the unbearable heat right now.
I plan to fab up a few and keep them on hand. Just PM me when the time comes. Thanks guys.

Damn, everybody must be feeling the heat. These things are selling faster than I can make them right now.

Interested in anyone's take on this shield if it helped with the sound, and if so to what extent?

What is the thickness of the rubber used? I saw one post that he opted for a thicker material (not the 45 mil). I am trying to talk myself into buying one, rather then spending time trying to make my own to save a buck. And it won't be of the same quality, that is for sure

Have never used 45, been 60 mil since I started making them. Other than the first batch of about ten, they were reinforced rubber, which is better yet.
I wouldn't sway anyone from cutting their own, a lot of us did it in the foil backed carpet days. Just need some good material and take your time.

Thanks for the reply! After nearly burning my hand on the seat belt area tonight, I'd like to buy one too. Hoping the noise is a bit lower too PM heading your way.
