Heat wrap on my V&H short shots question
#45
I'm gonna wrap my pipes tonight. I took the heat shields off and I think I'm going to wrap over the mounting bracket. My only question is after I wrap over it I am gonna have to make holes for the bolts to go through. Is this gonna compromise the wrap? I'm worried it'll cause it to Frey or unravel.

I bought a pair of shortshots with heat wrap, but i don't like the look.
I'd love to go back to heat shields, but the black heat shields i have don't match my bike. Any of you in this thread willing to trade your chrome heat shields for my brand new black ones?
I am looking for TRADE chrome heat shields for Sportster XL 2004+.
Part# Front Shield (D392HP), Rear Shield (D393HP)
Still in factory package wrap...

I removed the heat shields & wrapped my wife's...along with some other things. Here's a before & after.
I don't like VHT coating because it turns ashy after a while. I use DEI pipe wrap coating on the pipes. Never a problem.
I've also NEVER had a problem with wrapping pipes. My Ironhead had wrapped pipes for 10 years or more and that bike was run HARD. I removed the wrap and the pipes looked exactly like chrome pipes that have had heat shields on them. The only issue I can see happening is if your fuel is jacked. Running lean is running hot and that will rust brand new chrome pipes so I assume it would kill wrapped pipes as well.
