You can't remove the heat shield without removing the exhaust, unless you bend it out of shape, or unbolting the rear sub-frame and moving it up. It's a very tight fit. You'll just have to wiggle them in - it'll take some time but it's doable....what stumped me was there were pegs/spacers where the bolts go that passes through the heat shield. i couldn't remove the passenger pegs because I couldn't get those pegs/spacers to clear the heat shield. do we need to remove the heat shield first (which I also need to know how to do) to remove the passenger pegs or do we just wiggle it out of the heat shield?...
I don't recall seeing any open holes under the seat from the pegs not being installed, but more importantly the seat isn't warmed by the exhaust - most of the heat I've felt is coming from the sides of the engine to the inner upper-thigh area....once the passenger pegs are removed, there will be two holes open directly under the seat, I wonder if the heat from the pipe will make the seat hotter because of the open holes?...
This should solve your problem. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u85mjfokc3cjx3h/Ducati SBK 959 Panigale 2016 E4 (PDF) English.pdf?dl=0Has anyone removed the rear pegs yet? I'm looking at ordering an Evotech exhaust hanger next week and just wondering if it's an easy job, I've not looked at the fixings for the rear peg......
