Wanted: Heat shield, on 78 header

[Offcenter]

There are two heat shields that fit on the header pipes, just below the
cylinder head on a 78,
a larger one and a small one.
I'm missing the larger shield on the left side exhaust header if anyone has one
that they'd like to part with.
Thanks guys.

Thanks anyway, Joe.
I looked on Ebay. At the moment all I could find was one with the
clamp broken and he wanted way too much for it.
So I'm still searching for a LEFT header pipe heat shield, the
long one with the round hole in it, for a 78 exhaust system.
Thanks guys.

Those things are like gold when you find them, usually fairly beat up and still expensive! I guess I'll have to hang on to mine that are beat up, but they're mine!

Sorry I don't have any such parts.

Thanks anyway, guys. I decided to mount the exhaust without the heat shields. Just got it done a little while ago. Boy oh boy is it ever nice to have a QUIET Goldwing!
Had been running Harley mufflers on it. Looked good, but too loud. My wife wouldn't ride any distance because the noise bothered her. Now the bike just purrs.

Great! Now you'll have company a bit more often.
