UNDER SEAT HEAT SHIELD

Apr 13, 2026 | Desmoto

It seems everybody is worried about heat on this project… No worries, another custom heat shield made out of 0.5mm aluminium to protect the seat and electronics tray.

Thinnest aluminium I have ever welded… Took me some time to get the settings correct before I was able to weld aluminium this thin!

Do the welds look great? No not amazing, however they are solid! But on material this thin getting welds that look amazing is secondary. I am glad I didn’t blast through. Hats off to anybody that is able to weld aluminium this thin and also make it look super nice!

For the people interested in the weld settings:
250hz AC
32% balance
40A ignition
35A peak
10A base
Pulse 75hz @ 75%
Welded with a pedal
