The heat shield for the Harley-Davidson Pan America made from forged carbon is a high-performance component designed to provide exceptional durability and protection for the exhaust system. This part utilizes the latest in carbon fiber technology, specifically forged carbon, which is characterized by its unique random pattern created from small irregularly placed carbon sheets. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the bike but also ensures that each piece has a distinct look.
The forged carbon heat shield is crafted using PrePreg Carbon Fiber, which contains an optimal amount of resin for maximum strength while minimizing weight. The manufacturing process involves curing in a high-pressurized autoclave oven, similar to techniques used in aerospace and motorsport industries, ensuring superior structural integrity by eliminating micro air pockets within the material.
