Default Wrapping Ur Pipes Question, Re-tune or Good to go Afterwards??

Does or Did Ur bike need to be Re-Dynoed or Re-mapped afterwards.???

Yrs ago I didn't like wrapped pipes at all, Now I "really" like it and I am pretty sure I am going to do it.!

I am going somewhat to the dark-side this winter with my Heritage, but thinking wrapped pipes for sure looks more ole school to go along with the theme.

Now,, After reading and learning about how much better the air flows though the pipes when wrapped, I am wondering would one need to RE-Tune a FI bike that's got a SERT tuner and has been dynoed or any other kind of tuner, if its done??

Any input at all from those who have wrapped their pipes and how Ur bike ran afterward would be welcomed.

Good to go. Wrap and ride. They will smoke for a bit. Be prepared for people to try to tell your bike is on fire on the first ride.

HAHA good call about the smoking. I just went 3 months without riding mine and they smoked again.

Not only Good service but U are fast to answer.

Don't really know how far I am going into her this winter but will always keep U and Ur business in mind on anything I get for her..

For sure I've read bout the smoke on the first start up.

No re-tune necessary. You do feel a bit goofy stopping at that first traffic signal with freshly wrapped pipes because of the smoke.

This lady in a Prius was pointing at me on my first ride with a panicked look on her face. I'll never forget it. I just looked at her and motioned that I was aware of the situation and laughed to myself.
