Engine heat shield

[kiwimike]

I have done a search on this and could not find any info - so here is my question. On a 1994 Seca 2 (Diversion) 600 I cannot find information on how this rubber heat shield is to be installed. Looks to me like it fits over the carb intakes at the airbox junction and then is draped over the top of the carbs towards the front of the bike. However I have seen on photo of it fitted backwards and I think fitted over the inlet tracts.

Is this expensive part worth installing (I have already bought the thing) does it actually work?

Thanks, Michael

The bit that drapes, drapes forward, not backwards, if that makes sense.

As to it’s importance, I can’t really say!
