Crooked thing? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that!
Wunderlich manifold protection and heat shield for the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 made of carbon – anything but a “crooked thing”
The path of the rear cylinder manifold of the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 twists and bends and curves until it reaches the collector. Just like the manifold protection and heat shield from Wunderlich, which follows the curved organic shape of the manifold (comes from crooked) and fits perfectly into the side flyline of the Pan America.
Manifold protection and heat shield, made from real carbon. And since quality is above all else at Wunderlich, the specialists for high-quality parts and accessories have the protective cover manufactured exclusively by Ilmberger, the carbon specialist. It is a solid, yet lightweight cover that serves as thermal and mechanical protection to reliably shield the radiant heat of the rear cylinder manifold and prevent direct contact of the right lower leg with the hot manifold pipe. For good reasons, the Wunderlich developers made the carbon heat shield over 130 millimeters longer than the standard sheet metal.
This protects against painful burn injuries and prevents damage to protective clothing caused by thermal influences. At the same time, it offers a high level of mechanical protection against scratches or dents on the manifold that can occur when driving off-road or in the event of an unfortunate fall. The heat protection is constructed in one piece and is installed in a thermally decoupled manner, so that contact has no consequences. Functional, integrated design in a carbon adventure look.
All details at a glance
The organic shape follows the curve of the manifold so that it fits perfectly into the side flyline of the Pan America. Accurate installation using the included installation kit is extremely easy. The heat protection replaces the original series part.

Good to know!
Carbon has two very important advantages: These are the weight savings (usually a saving of around 70% compared to the original component) and the higher component rigidity. Ilmberger uses pre-impregnated carbon fiber matrices for the high-quality carbon. The fiber volume is dimensioned and the orientation of the individual fiber layers is defined. The matrix is then hand-laminated without bubbles and coated twice with a protective coating. The additional clear layer of lacquer protects and underlines the three-dimensional effect of the carbon structure. After hardening in the autoclave, the carbon components meet the highest demands and the highest demands. This carbon component underlines the high-tech claim with the unique appearance of real carbon.
