Sticky,
please understand Im not here to mess with you, but lose the heat shield before you wrap. Why you ask...... not because Streetfighter says so.......... because he is right, now let me tell you why.
the pipes get wrapped to create a minimal barrier between an unguarded pipe and your leg(or you GF's leg). there might be a cooling thing here too, I dont know cause Im not a wrapper. I am sure there is a thread about the whys of wrapping.
wrap on heat shields is like pretend cool on top of not cool. like wearing a shirt for pants. I personally would be laughing at you too much to beat you off the line, I would just let you go on your merry little way, and you would continue thinking that you are all fast.
I dont wrap, and dont care if your preference is to wrap. but either remove the wrap and"rock the raw" heatshields, or wrap un-shielded pipes. Then we can forget that this whole bastardization ever happened.
That being said.... everything else you are doing/have done looks top notch. your bike is great.
