Default Wrapped Pipes

Isn't it about time for this fad to end? They add nothing to a street bikes performance.

they reduce the heat felt by the rider and you don't burn yourself if you accidently touch the pipes either....isn't it about time for people to stop worrying about what others do to their bikes?

Wrapped pipes are good looking and a must for those who like to wear short pants when riding a bike. ^^

You're right. Everyone should have chrome.

Everyone.

No choices for anybody. Then we can be individuals, just like everyone else.

When you do, if you no longer have heat shields, maybe you could retrofit a slinky around your pipes and start a NEW fad!

And to think this ended just as I was contemplating wrapping the pipes on my Dyna. Once again, I'm a day late and a dollar short.
