exhuast wrap?????

[g3STRIKES]

found awesome clamp for header wrap,cv boot clamps look way clean only drawback you have to buy tool and they cost considerable bit more. but they look great!!!! ps i do alot of wrapping so didnt mind buying tool

So, I must say its not best, but for my first time wrapping the headers, I dont think its that bad.

Thanks guys, hey oh9bolt I saw that you have that right scoop on your pic, how is that working out for you? I am looking for one myself to cool off that back head, my fan kicks all the time once I kill the motor.

Nice work alexrz5! How long did it take you? Did you use safety wire or stainless hose clamps? What brand wrap did you use?

 

[TooFst]

I'd do it again... No question!!

It works good, it cools the rear cylinder good, but gives me warm nuts because the amount of hot air that both the scoops catch force all the hot air out of the fan outlet. Im sure others have the same problem but dont notice, or dont say.

That's when heat barriers are appreciated ...

Just re wrapped my headers last week. After having them wrapped for two years they got, well I guess brittle would be the word. Tore very easily, the bottom tore away. So I just re wrapped the whole gig. Ill keep doing this as long as I have my buell

I have my XB wrapped black, if riden alot or left in the sun alot the wrap will fade and then you will need to recoat it with DEI HT Silicone Coating Spray .
here is is a great wrap I used you can find it cheap at ebay summit jeggs, oriellys autozone.

Het Matt,

Thanks it took me about 2 hours, I used stainless steel clamps. I used DEI header wrap. then sprayed it with black DEI Hi temp silcon paint. because once I ran the bike, wrap started to fade to a gray color.

Hey Bigtwin,

Do you make those heat shield barriers

 

[Big twin]

Yes, did them my self with this ...

Had the parts sewed by a dress maker, putting the "welders protective shield" between two layers of the "thermal blanket", so, it did this ...

I put the "chrome" side towards the engine so it would reflect more heat ...

 

[Alexrz5]

Bigtwin, thats awesome, so did yo take measurements yourself to make it sit right on the bike?

 

[Big twin]

Trial and error .... with paper to make the perfect shape and after copied the shape on the good material. Still took me a few times to get it right. After that, took it to the dress maker to have it sewed ...

 

[Alexrz5]

HAHAHA nice!

Hey Bigtwin, I see that you have the same exhaust I have, I purchased the bike with that exhaust on the bike already, Its that buell sport exhaust or something.
