My current exhaust can heat shiled is made from some fairly thick stainless so most likely heavier than it need to be for the purpose.

I was thinking of making a stainless or aluminium frame, perhaps with a couple of windows and have woven wire mesh backing.

Anyone done or seen something like this?

Why not just ditch the shield all together? The pipes are far hotter than the can anyway - I've burned myself (or my cover) on the pipe plenty of times but never on the can.

if you dont want to ditch the heat shield there was a guy on here selling CF ones for about £70, but i have to agree, i would just ditch it, mind you my silencer doesn't get hot enough for you to burn yourself on really i use it to warm my hands when im driving!

My passengers tend to use my can as a hand warmer in traffic. But then I have no heater, so they have no choice really.

What about a fairly open wire cage like the one Mark Allanson has on his? Can't weigh much at all.
