Default Used FM Head Pipes

Post em on this site or PM me if you do. Those stainless steel pipes will wear out three Tri's and used in those is as good as new! I'd wrap them puppies and not worry about them not being ceramic coated.

Default Wrap on the Bike/trike

I think the ceramic is an option now with Fuelmoto, I had JetHot do mine it was not an option when I purchased mine.
I wrapped mine on the Tri, no big deal. The shields are water pump type clamps, on an off is easy. I stuck newpaper in behind the pipes and let it cover the engine when I put the sealer on. I imagine the sealer on the backside of the pipe is thin but I hit it heavy and it soaked all around the pipes. The pipes can be wrapped on the bike/trike but if you ever had them off for any reason it would be better to wrap them while off the machine.

Yea! but you know what ol Ben Franklin said, a penny saved is a penny earned! Somebody has to do the cheap mods to keep a well rounded forum. Some of us can't compete with you high rollers!
