RE: heat wrap on my nighty???
I didn't think the title of this post was, "Do wrapped pipes look good or bad?" and not to sound like an ***, but next time ask yourself if your post helps out the original poster or not
Thanks
Thanks

This is one of those "if you can't say anything nice..." situations. Fortunately, I never learned that lesson.
Sorry, but tape just makes bikes look like trash, low-rent, crappy band-aided junkers.

Ok, not sure why you think anything I said has anything to do with bolt-on catalog chrome or "pretty", but ok.

I guess some of us don't like pretty,shiney,catalouge chrome accesorised motorcycles
It's probably a "to each his own" kinda thing..................ya know
I like all bikes......even the pretty ones

I'd love to see your reaction to the bikes I ride and ride with.
You would find them truly appalling....................and loud too
Here's one of mine..............no wrap

The hot rod idea behind heat wrap is to keep the exhaust gases from cooling meaning that they expel themselves quicker.
 \\;
When and if you decide to wrap your pipes I would suggest a couple of things.
 \\;
Soak the wrap first. \\; It keeps down on the fibers and allows the tape to stretch a little did. \\; When it dries the wrap will tighten up a little for a good fit. \\; Note - it will not tighten up enough to make up for a bad/loose wrap job.
 \\;
Wrap it as tight as you can and this job is easier with two people.
 \\;
When you do it wear long sleeves and gloves.
 \\;
P.S. - There nothing wrong with a Nighty.

I'm considering putting heat tape on my exhaust..I like the look moreso than the chrome. Have any of you done this and are there issues with the o2 sensors and the extra heat??? any suggestions?? Thanks!

To bring this topic, back from the past, Elivis, where did you get your black tape at?
