I've seen a couple of them unwrapped and they look a right mess, partly because the wrap was installed wet. Imagine fastening a wet blanket to a chrome bumper and leaving it there for years on end - that's how bad they looked !!! Wrap headers if you must, but put the stuff on dry, not wet - that would be my advice.
What I have read on other forums or videos, is to install them wet, and then to go on a ride on a dry day to get them dry and yeah, to always dry them... As for fractures, what could possibly cause fractures ?
Urgh... Nobody calls me Samuel. Please, we're not a work neither at school! Call me Sam, Billy ( My usual games/forums/social networks alias is Billy The Geek ) or even Mushroom Man if you want ( don't do drugs, kids, it's just a mario kart boost ) but not Samuel ! Thanks for this explanation Half-Ton. I'm more of an easy rider kind of guy... No much chances of performance testing on bike.
According to everything I read about wrapping, it does seem that wrapping when wet is the preferred option, which will of course dry when the engine is running. One point about them - they are difficult to clean once dirty - not like polishing a chrome pipe!
Doe's wrap burn its self to pipes, not that I am doing it to my bike just a matter of interest Dave ??
Hi Peter, I'm no expert on this matter by any means but from the ones I've seen that have been de-wrapped the downpipes look dreadful, as if the stainless finish has been affected. Peeps who've done this reckon they are ny-on impossible to clean up to a good std. after wrapping.
yeah, if I wrap them it's cause I don't like chrome, there ain't going to be no unwrapping after that.
The spelling was right just the wrong word wanted to go to Manningtree the other day I thought this is taking some time ended up in Dovercourt my excuse I was trying to avoid all the loose gravel roads they are laying in my area at the moment, what a dipstick
