Heat shields for frame side openings???

[JAMR1965]

I noticed on an '09 ST1300 this weekend there are black plastic covers around the rear shock opening (left side) and the other frame openings where the calf and foot on each side are (frame openings). There is a frame opening on the right side where the battery is and two small triangular frame openings on each side of the bike. Can these be purchased for my 2003 somewhere? Let me know if you have a lead on these. Thanks.

You can buy them from the dealer- just look up parts fiche for 09 ST. Battery side installs easily. Shock side requires some fabrication of "L" bracket attached to fuse box protector plate and fabricate plastic piece for forward attachment hole. there is info and pictures on this site. Do not remember exactly where. Works good on my 05........

look under st1300 mods

I just used industrial Velcro. Works well and does not involve drilling the frame.

I bought mine from the local dealer. I think it was about 18-20 bucks for both. They're installed on my '05.

Other than fill the space do they do anything for heat or anything or are they just for looks?

They may help with heat a little, but not a tremendous difference. They do look nice though. I have an extra left side if you need it. Then you'd only have to order the right side...
