Abstract
A motorcycle exhaust pipe heat shield arranged for protecting the footwear, clothing, and the foot of the motorcycle passenger. The shield is attachable to the motorcycle in a location intermediate the engine exhaust pipe and the floorboard for the passenger's foot. The shield presents an upright planar portion for shielding from the heat of the exhaust pipe, and it also presents an attachment bracket for readily and securely attaching the entire shield to the motorcycle. The method of making the shield includes the cutting of the blank from a sheet of metal and then appropriately forming and bending the blank to present the final configuration of the shield which is also surface finished with a reflective surface for esthetics as well as heat reflection.
