I completely forgot about starting this thread. It has been a while. I also forgot about the heat from the exhaust also and the wrap has held up with no cracked pipes. I just ride. One thing I noticed is that when I removed the exhaust to upgrade the oil pumps, I had to replace the wrap on the header pipes. It had become too brittle and fell apart. No problem since I had some wrap left over from the original install. This may not be for everyone but heat is no longer a concern for me. I just ride now. Regards.

 

Thanks for the update. I’m glad it worked out for you. I’ve ordered the wrap, and after wrapping my pipes, I might wrap my boot.

 

So,,I spent about 5 hours in the garage today wrapping my pipes. I bought the DEI wrap from Summit Racing. It was pretty easy to work with. I ended up wrapping the ends with Gorilla tape to prevent fraying. Then I’ll take a nice high speed ride to cook it off.

 

ive (heavily) sprayed the wrap before. Gas grill paint. Thanks for the inspiration. How is yours working out?

 

Im happy with how it worked out. no more roasted foot, even in 112 degree desert heat.

its been a while back on bikes I no longer have. Nothing is permanent.

 

Nice work but a lot of work. I thought about doing this but decided not to because a bunch of work for a small return. I have heat on my m8 but its bearable and its only on 90 degree plus days. Might do it on a sportster or dyna. But again nice write up.

 

Pulling the heat shields on mine is the one thing I absolutely hate. I commend you for going though all of that.
The last bike I put wrap on, it rotted the pipe. I am sure the products are better, now.

 

What about Jet Hot coating?
