Aprilia RSV Mille - Rear brake
Original heat shield vs mine custom made heat shield.
Custom heat shield in place.
I have also rerouted brake hose to the outside of the rear brake master cylinder. As you can see on the image below there is a slight change in the colorization of the brake hose. This was probably due to overheating from exhaust pipe.
For comparison, next picture (from web) shows original brake hose route.
Since I did this improvement I don't have to bleed rear brake system anymore.
NOTE: I use Dot 4 brake fluid.
