I plan on adding some Cycle Shack turn-out mufflers to my Bob, and want to wrap the header pipes. Has anyone wrapped over the heat shields of the stock pipes? Any help is appreciated.

Take the heat shields off, then wrap. BTW, I have the CS turnouts and they are the shiznit.

 

Thanks for the info. I quess I will see how it looks when I get the pipes off.

 

I removed the heat shields and wrapped the pipes to the slip-ons. I really like it!

1st l sanded the chrome a bit 'couse l was gonna paint them flat black

4th l started wrapping them watching my spacing

5th on my front pipe was a dent (that's what you get at the swapmeet if you don't want to spend the whole paycheck) so l took some aluminum foil and patch it up (it works like a dream)
