Martin Brothers Heat Shields

So I have a 2004 Ridgeback with Martin Brothers what appears to be "Daisy Cutters" with reversed tips. It looks like even the modern "Daisy Cutter" heat shields will fit. Does anyone have an idea on this issue?
I can't find anyone that sells these covers so far, the search continues. I've even contacted Jeff Martin and am working with another company as well.

 
i have the same pipes on mine except mine turns out to the side. All I can say is Don't ride in SHORTS!!! in the 2nd degree! mine are also showing a lot of blueing..... a heat shield would be nice. nice scoot

Those are the Medustas. I have the same pipes. I have not seen Heat Sheilds for them. Some people wrap them.

HAH! Guess what!? My BDM dealer has a set of shields for the madusas! He says they've sat around for a long time and the chrome is kinda rough but he'll cut me a deal. He wants to compare the chromes first though. I told him worst case I get the pipes and shields redone.
Yeah Jeff Martin emailed me telling me they are the madusas and he's looking around his shop to see if he has any. Depending on who I buy from, I'll pass on other shields if anyone finds them for me. :cheers:

i have them to, i wrapped them with white wrap. i tried the motorcycle wrap. that all suck . i got some wrap from the caterpillar repair shop. 4"wrap 100feet long just $65.00. it works really well it takes 90% of the heat away.

Ok so I'm not going to buy them. The way Martin brothers shields fit their pipes is ASS, in my opinion. There is a gap between the shields and where the pipes step up to the bigger radius 1/2 way down the pipes, and they look like they only cover 1/2 of the pipe, as where the big radius shields cover 2/3.
I'd rather keep the bluing since it matches the color of my bike anyways. I'll save up for the big radius 2.5 pipes if I decide to change pipes.
So here's the website, email the dude. He will sell you them for what he has in them which is $160.
But he did say they made slightly different ones depending on what side your drive is on. So make sure you tell him.
If you guys want and can wait till spring, I'll take my bike up there to see if they fit my pipes. Mine is left side drive.
