Scraped the heat shield on my 2025 Scrambler Full Throttle today — on
Happened on the Volterrana road near Volterra, and honestly I didn’t expect it at all. These bikes don’t exactly look like they’d lean that far, but this one clearly has more cornering ability than I gave it credit for.
Not trying to ride it like a sportbike — just enjoying a good stretch of road — but this definitely caught me by surprise.
Made me appreciate how capable and well-balanced the Scrambler actually is.
Anyone else had similar moments with theirs?
I bought three so called 'heat shield' leg protectors off Amazon to diminish the oven cooking my leg while in traffic...none was worth a shit or were very uncomfortable. So I tried made my own...total success!
Here are the two items I bought:
I cut two pieces of the heat shield - one for above the knee and one for below. Using a hot glue gun (the adhesive did not stick to the knee sleeves) I glued the shields to the knee sleeve. Put in freezer for ten minutes. Be sure to not glue to the edges - it needs some free play to bend with ur leg as you stop and go.
Works perfectly and can not tell it is even on me (I wear it under my riding pants).
Total investment $18 for two.
