And I don't care what anyone has to say about it, I'm tired of burning holes in my motorcycle cover!

I used the DEI titanium LR 15FT i wetted mine even though it said not required - was one of the easiest things i have ever done - yep no more burns, pants, boots, covers, etc...p.s. looks cool too - no more ugly discolored header.

I think I'm going with black, I read that 1" wrap is best used on 2" pipes...

Can you still get the chrome foot peg heat shield on with that wrap?
Looks good, I'm really sick of cleaning gunk off of my header pipe.

I used the 1" stuff and it worked fine. Brown, but I dig that whole Rat-Rod look. It does keep the heat off pretty well, but now my muffler is blueing up pretty quick! C'est La-Vie.....

Wow that titanium wrap looks much better than the black fiberglass stuff I bought. Probably not as cheap though. I'll look into it.
Hmm. 2" wide x 15' roll, $20.67 - that's pretty cheap. I think I paid 30 for 25 feet, including the ties.
I like the fact that you don't need to spray it.
Just found this:

Sweet deal if you buy something else and get free shipping!

Somebody needs to start making stainless exhaust headers for this bike.
-- The metal does all kind of colorful things when it cools down after getting red hot.
-- The stock header weighs WWAAYY too much (triple-walled-tubing)
-- Thin walled stainless has an interesting "ping" to it as each exhaust pulse passes through
-- Different diameters would allow one more variable for "tuners" to vary things for cams, carbs, operating range (RPM), etc.
-- No need for wrapping
-- Probably would be cheaper than replacing a stock header
-- Lower maintenance (no concern about bluing, etc.)
