I used adhesive backed heat shield from Jegs (www.jegs.com) and wrapped it around the metal intake tubes. You can't see in this picture, but I also wrapped all around the end that sits behind the fender. Anything to keep that heat away!

... I have wrapped the heat shielding all the way down to the cone filter. Since the brakes are so close to this fender, I though anything to keep the heat away would be good.
