Pulled the pipes off the bike and loosely wrapped them dry to get a good measure point to cut them to size. Then, I dropped the roll in a bucket of water. After a minute or two, I pulled the roll out, threw it on the driveway and started wrapping from the base to the flange. After both were done, I bolted the back up and hit the ignition. Smoked like she was on fire and smelled like **** for about 30 minutes. After that they just smelled like **** but looked good.

After about two hundrwd or so miles, the smell was gone. Been wrapped a little over a year and made numerous trips in the rain. The rain would burn off instantly. Got home one day, pulled my boots off and dumped out the ankle deep water...pipe wrap was dry.

It has faded a bit, but not enough to be problematic. The wrap works and that is the most important part.

 

One more thing, between wrapping dry and wet, the wet wraps tighter and allows the material to better conform to the bends in the pipe and overlap.

Have fun. Good luck. Post pics.

 

What Brand wrap do you all recomend? I have been looking at Vance & Hines. I need some input.

 

I got the Screamin' Eagle wraps. Good stuff and they have nice colors now.

 

You can get it cheap at an auto parts store. You will need to dye it your self, but it only about 10$ for 2"x50'.

 

Thanks Guys, I think im going lightly wet / moisten them with a spray bottle just to help them go on tight and if needed I can aways paint them black....
thanks again for the help

 

If I do paint them im going to used black silicone spray.. to keep them black & dry !
I will post pic's when im done.

Thanks again..
