I ride a Honda ST-1300, which doubles as a high-powered heat gun at stop lights and intersections. It has a radiator in the front where fans draw warm are in across the very hot exhaust pipes before highly engineered and strategically located vents spill the energy-rich air mass onto boddy parts most of us would like to keep cool.
This looked like a low cost, low effort, mod whilst I had the skins off.
This tape soft and flexible, even though it comes from the same lava rocks we get obsidian. The black glass that is so tempered Native Americans would easily flake thin shards off the stone and use it to easily slice the hide off a deer, rabbit or bear. I've carried obsidian when some of the edges found their ways into/through my skin. I didn't know i was bleeding until i could feel the it running down and dripping off my fingers. Cuts so clean they didn't hurt and healed quickly.
But this stuff "Titanium Exhaust/ Header Wrap" is its sick-wicked sister's "good" twin. Refined, supple and strong. I wound from the tail up to the engine. Taking time to start twisting from the end and work to the engine to remove slack.
I began to use the stainless steal zip-strips, but found hose clamps give a number of advantages.
The pipes are finished off with a couple layers of "DEI 010301 Black High-Temperature Silicone". The color isn't "the thing" for me, it's all covered under a plastic shell. But the paint should help weatherize the tape from water, mud, bugs, maybe more, even a little snow, maybe.
