I notice that the K53/K54 Akra slip on is available directly from Akra or from BMW as an accessory.

If you buy it from Akra, it comes complete with heat shield.

If you buy it from BMW it comes without heat shield, but two heat shields are available; one to suit a bike with a centre stand and one to suit a bike without.

As buying the generic Akra end can is somewhat cheaper than buying from BMW, does anyone happen to know which heat shield comes with that one?
 
I'm not sure that there is any difference at the end of the day.
I had the whole rigmarole story from my dealer about a shield not available with a centre stand, but I dug my heels in and a guard was eventually supplied.

But I've removed the carbon shield as I decided it was superfluous. Having removed the rear wheel twice the shield was just a nuisance.

One carbon shield cluttering up my garage now :augie
