     Windaddiction |
Well did my 8000km (5000 mile) service today. I Put some Amsoil 20/50 full syn oil in, Put on some perelli syncs, and decided to wrap my headers. Must say the bike is getting better all the time!  | ||

How about a side view? | ||

ask and you shall recieve. Um installation was fairly easy. I used 4 hose clamps. Did the front pipe first bringing it down to where the 2 pipe come together. Then I did the rear pipe over lappingg on the front one before going to the muffler  | ||

Did you install the wrap wet? | ||
| Windaddiction |
Yes there is no other way to really do it... one tip though put the hose clamps on first loose then feed the wrap through it and tighten I also used zap straps to keep it tight when i wanted to take a break or just to make it easier! good luck! | ||

Put a wrapped up little doll's head up there in the "Y" and it would look like a mummy. A nice touch, especially around Halloween. | ||

Does it really get hot enuf that wrapping is necessary? I'm not crazy about the look. Perhaps in black tho... | ||

Nice work! Can you take a front pic? I'm thinking about putting on the Acerbis guards and would like to see what it looks like straight-on. I've thought about wrapping the headers but am also not crazy about the look. Thinking about going with a ceramic coating from these guys: http://www.hpcoatings.com I know they do Buell stuff. | ||

LOL you should see all the replies I've got on my sportsbike forum, no one likes it. I guess that means it's doing it's job  | ||
| Lowflyer |
I had thought I might do that at some point, but then I was told that the headers are already coated. I guess I'm wondering if it would be worth it. | ||
| Smcnamara |
I'm not sure if the information about them already being coated is correct... Since they change color from silver to gold after a number of heat cycles, doesn't that indicate they haven't been coated? | ||

Windaddicition, with the heat in Texas, this may be a necessity. Can you tell any difference? Also, is that an Air scoop on the right side? How does that work too?? | ||
| Windaddiction |
A lot less heat sitting in traffic, it isnt real warm yet here but I'm sure it will make a positive difference. Have not noticed any performance gains though. That scoop is juts stock... urs should have it! | ||
| Bondo1007 |
You are right, that is the stock one once I look past the wrappings!! OOps! I remember seeing somewhere in the Big, Bad and Dirty that a rider put on a larger RH scoop, more like the one on the LH side. Thought it was yours and was hoping for good feedback, too. |
