Both my BMW motorcycles have a nylon or phenolic sleeve between the heads and the carbs. Their purpose it to keep the gas in the float bowls from boiling. Some of these bikes can get toasty down there. A R100RT running two up at 80 mph may need both petcocks open and that waste heat has to go somewhere.

I would use the insulators.
