Paint and tags look great.
My 2cents on heat shields .
I don't run any on my turbo and never had a battery problem 
Heat shields may separate heat from  battery  , but also keep air from  moving away from the battery , fuel system, and electronics.
With everything so tight under the tank and seat not much can be done to shed heat , but to each their own ..
Maybe a small  fan to move air or just open the seat when you stop.
Again , I never had a problem with cooked parts or melting .. Take a look at how close the fuel petcock is to the turbo exhaust  housing .

Maybe look into getting a turbo blanket.   It’d isolate the heat from escaping from around the turbo.  Although they might be a bit too bulky as the space where the turbo sits is already pretty cramped.

Any suggestions  on how to make heat shield. Would copper sheet work. 
I would steer clear of copper as it will act like a radiator!! I would be a +1 on the turbo blanket Doug mentioned if you can get one the right size. However Dave is something of an oracle when it comes to Turbo Ltd’s having run his for years so I would take note of his experience (I’m a bit of a “double bagger” :)
