I used the stock heat shield, stainless hose clamps and a couple of brackets and mounted that to the header.

It works great, has lasted for ages with no signs of falling of, didn’t cost a cent and doesn't melt my pants.

Welcome to the club, my megabomb melted my synthetic pants in the first 10 minutes of riding. I then wrapped it in 2 layers of header wrap and tied it down with safety wire.

FYI, if the header wrap touches any plastic it will melt. I wrapped my muffler lead pipe and it was touching the airbox so that area of the box melted. I simply removed the wrap from the muffler pipe. If I lean my boots on the header wrap it will melt the plastic after a minute or two.

Since your powerbomb doesn't stick out as far maybe you can wrap it with 3 or 4 layers of wrap and not have melting issues.

But if you want to add something different then you can always go the route I took. I was in the shop shortly after the Muzzy install and spotted a chrome job on the wall by the road bike section, and it just caught my eye. And yes its been on for over 12,000 miles and still looks that good! Not sure if it will fit over the power bomb but I bet it would,
