Beating the heat

I rode to Webster on Sunday, about 170 miles, and somehow I scorched my pantleg. This called for a shield. The culprit-

I have some old heat shielding and a die grinder-

After some cutting, sanding, and of course drilling, we have this-

It looks good in bare medal, but it'll turn black as soon as it gets warm enough to paint.

It's funny, I went to the Webster swap for the specific reason of buying a shield from a guy that's there all the time. Of course, he didn't have one.
