In need of template or used carburetor heat shield for ST1100

[PhotoDoctor]

The “new to me” bike is completely missing the heat shield under the carburetors. Is there a template anywhere so I can cut a new shield? Possible I can source a good used one. Has anyone already sorted a good way to make one vs. the current Honda price of a new one at around $ 80.00?

I have a used one, let me dig it out of storage, check out the condition and I'll PM you with the info

I have the template but it looks like I can't attach a .pdf here.
Search the site. It's here somewhere.

Look on ebay. Or, you might give some of these guys a call...

I have one as well if Dan's doesn't work out.

Cheese - that sounds good and may save Dan from having to dig around.

Here's a link to a post that contains additional information, part numbers, and a template to enable you to make your own mat.

I used the heavy 'shower floor' pvc mat from Home Depot to make a replacement when I found mine to be worthless.

Hi Mark:

How has that material stood up to the heat in the engine area?

I gave the bike to the brother-in-law with 140,000 miles on it (shield was replaced at ~60,000 IIRC).
It was fine when I did the timing belt at 110,000 and hasn't been replaced ( believe he's put about 10,000 on it) yet.

Ditto...
Used a UV resistant garden-pond mat as attempted replacement once, came out in pieces after not even a year...

My '91 SSMST came NEW from the factory
without one - NONE installed at all !
No heat shield !
It took at least 2-3 yrs. before I realized a
Heat Mat was supposed to be in there !
Didn't seem to matter at all.
Bike ALWAYS ran fine for 250K Miles.
So I never put one in!
Good Luck.
