Heat pad for bottom of saddlebag?

[EazyDuz]

I was wondering what can be stuck at the bottom of a leather saddlebag to protect it from exhaust heat either by radient or direct contact.
Would something like this work:

Or this

It just has to be stuck on the bottom of the bag. Would either of these do it?

Thats good but if it fails i lose £50 worth of saddlebag.
I thought there might be some well known biker trick on the best thing to use

Depends how close it is the the exhaust, the end can will get to about 250-300C, I think hair straighteners are about 200C and that heat mat thing has no useful info. Obviously if its a fair way from the exhaust then they will probably be fine.

I have a silicone mat from lakeland that sits in the bottom of my oven all the time to catch anything that boils over.

Best thing is a carbon exhaust because they don't get hot enough to melt the fabric but that won't work well on a virago.

The silicone will stop the saddlebag melting if it touches the exhaust but it WILL eventually conduct the heat through to the contents of the bag if the bag is resting on it.

That said, looking at pictures of 535s, the panniers should finish up behind where the exhaust finishes anyway.

Hmm some good ideas, ill try something out. As long as silicone wont burn and bubble onto the exhaust...

I use silicon baking pans/trays in the oven. No idea how hot an exhaust gets but the oven does at least 220 degrees and no hint of my silicon going floppy or bubbling
Should be ok for an exhaust shield.
