S&S Cycle Carbon Fiber Heatshield - Indian FTR1200
About S&S Cycle
S&S Cycle has built American V-twin performance parts in Viola, Wisconsin since 1958 — flywheels, carburetors, cams, cylinder heads and complete crate engines. When a Harley owner talks about a 124, a 128 or a 131 build, they are usually talking about S&S. Few names carry more weight with engine builders in this space.
This S&S Cycle carbon fiber heatshield for the Indian Motorcycle FTR1200 is engineered to protect the rider's leg and the bike's frame from exhaust heat. It's designed specifically to pair with S&S Cycle Grand National slip-on mufflers, ensuring a precise fit and optimal thermal protection. The lightweight carbon fiber construction adds minimal mass while effectively reducing heat transfer.
