Thanks 68. I read a message that seemed to say the bolts used to mount the heat shield were different. Do you know if yours is the stock set up?

The set up is very difficult to find. Come up every now and again. I don't need them. Can I ask what type of screw you're using to mount your pipe to the shield, and if it's factory correct?

BTW, I like the white shield. What type of finish? Really, that entire block is super and all appears stock. Sweden!!!!!!!!.........Excellent.
