I’m thinking about getting the full akrapovic (akro) exhaust. For those of you that have it, is there any way that the heat shield from the r6 or s1000rr akro exhausts could be fitted on the the Hayabusa akro exhaust? I’m looking for a way to break up the look of such a long exposed pipe.

As long as that heat shield is similiar in shape so that it fits the shape of the Busa muffler, then yes.
You would need to drill 2 holes in the muffler sleeve, one on top, and one on the outside edge.
Pop rivot the shield on.
A small amount of clear rtv silicone around the rivot holes will prevent any leaks(but leaks won't happen with correct rivot size).
You can use a special style hose clamp/band clamp that will allow you to attach that shield around the midpipe.(ebay or amazon, muffler clamps and mounts).
