The two part numbers differ by a single character and the bikes differ in bodywork around the exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the shield for the 800MT. Check the badge on the tank before ordering; on a price list the two are almost indistinguishable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIt Belongs to One Silencer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic designed this shield around the Slip-On Line S-CF8SO4-HFTT for the 800MT. On the standard CFMOTO exhaust the mounting geometry is different, and the visual argument for a matched carbon part disappears with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Than the Rider's Leg\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer lists equipment alongside the rider, and on a touring machine that phrase is the one worth reading. An 800MT exists to be loaded, and loading it puts webbing within centimetres of metal that runs at several hundred degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraps lose that contest, usually far from home. Positioning a barrier where the load naturally rests is functional engineering with a cosmetic side effect, rather than the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStraight Swap\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term Akrapovic uses is plug and play, and it holds: release the factory panel, seat this one on the identical points, tighten. No trimming, no drilling, no packers, and a socket set covers the whole job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy CFMOTO Owners Buy Carbon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 800MT undercuts European adventure bikes substantially, and a good many owners spend part of that difference on the machine rather than pocketing it. An Akrapovic exhaust with a matched carbon shield is one of the more visible ways to do that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe parts are the same quality Akrapovic supplies for a BMW or a Ducati. Only the motorcycle underneath costs less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHand-Laid, Not Pressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape wraps around the silencer and its mounts, which is more than a press tool can form from sheet without wrinkling the cloth. Akrapovic lays the carbon into a mould by hand, cures it under heat and trims the edge afterwards — three operations, each with a person attached to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is where the price of a part this size comes from, and it is the whole difference from the stamped panel it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo Published Weight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic gives no figure for this shield and none is estimated here. A part of this size is a matter of a couple of hundred grams at most, and nobody should buy one expecting a weight benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Model Years\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCFMOTO has built the current 800MT since 2024 without changing the exhaust mounting, so one shield covers the run to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot applicable. A heat shield is neither an emissions nor a noise component, and the silencer behind it decides what the motorcycle may do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: P-HSCF8SO2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 3831126451523\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBikes covered: CFMOTO 800MT, 2024 to 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: heat shield, hand-crafted carbon fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for: the Akrapovic Slip-On Line S-CF8SO4-HFTT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: plug and play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: not published by Akrapovic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproval: none applies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Akrapovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53631068897546,"sku":"P-HSCF8SO2","price":41.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/01_e961c9f9-ccf8-436c-9a67-43569923a3a7.png?v=1788602665","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-gi\/products\/akrapovic-heat-shield-carbon-cfmoto-800mt-p-hscf8so2","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
