Just bought some straight shot pipes for my 02 xl and I want to wrap it. Problem is the front pipe support that attaches behind the rear brake resevoir is welded to the pipe. I wnat to wrap past the weld but don't see a way to do this without looking like a botched job. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks.

 

I just pulled mine super tight. Put one end in a vice and leaned back as I rolled myself and the pipe back to the vice. I rolled right over the pipe supports and then used a razor blade to cut little slits just big enough for the bolts to peek through. You can't even tell, its looks clean as anyone could ever ask for.
