Now the original is gone, so I have to rely on my feeble memory. But, as I
recall, the original was an extremely thin piece of aluminum foil glued to
the same type of foam that is used elsewhere in the other fairing parts. The
replacement is a quilted looking bit of aluminum, I would guess about 1/8"
thick. I haven't had it off to really examine it closely.

I am aware that there are two different heat shields being used, but
neither that I am aware of was a covered soft foam. Which of the two that
you have seen was thicker (original or replacement)? Some of the early
bikes had a thicker quilted shield which was aluminum on top of a
fiberglass pad and was around 8-9mm thick. The newer bikes have a thin foil
and adhesive shield that is only about 1-2 mm thick. If you order a
replacement shield right now, you should only receive the newer (not
quilted) thin shield.
Do you have something different?
