Default Sporties with wrapped pipes (PICS)

Hey all! I've got an 09' and am thinking about doing a pipe wrap in the near future after getting a sweet set of draggs. Just wanna see some pics of your wrapped Sportiest and get your take on how its worked for ya. Any problems, pipes crack, over heat issues etc? Thanks all in advance!!!

They were 27in long, and I got them right from the dealership, around 50 bucks. Dont worry the bike is totalled anyway. *see signature.

Did you guys wrap the pipes yourselves? If so, how did you get them so tight, mine looks like crap! All lose and crap, I need to redo them.

I did mine myself, use a spray bottle and everytime you wrap around just pull as tight as you can. The wrap on my sportster was my first attempt and wasnt bad but my second attempt on my wideglide is pretty much perfect. Just keep trying and you'll get it.

i want to wrap my pipes myself, but i ran into a problem. there is a sensor or something that goes into the top part of the pipe around the engine. does it unscrew? i couldn't get it out. i think it's an exhaust sensor? i'm not sure...
