Exhaust wrap.

Edberg said:

I burned a hole thru my pants on the first ride on my 08 FE450 . I would like to wrap my pipe to keep the heat off my leg/boot and the carb. I've never wrapped a pipe and was wondering how to do it right. Also if you leave it on long will it destroy the finish?

I used the DEI brand of exhaust wrap with good success. I also got tired of burning holes in things as well. It will also help to keep the heat away from the carb. It definitely makes a big difference in the surface temperature of the pipe.

It will leave marks on the original finish of the pipe, however, I have never tried to take those marks off with never dull, or some other kind of polish. \

The DEI directions tell you to soak the wrap in water to help make it more pliable, I didn't do this and just did it dry with good results but you have to use patience to make it look half way decent. I also used safety wire every couple of inches to hold the wrap on. Start from the back and work your way forward, this way the over laps will shed dirt, water/mud/, and other debris, instead of acting like a scoop. Think of it like a roof and the front of the bike is the ridge.

They make a couple of different exhaust shields. You can usually find them on ebay. Just search Husaberg.

I used a wrap but header pipe still got dented. So on my new bike i used a set guards from eline http://www.elineaccessories.com/Shop/Re ... Submit2=GO

all of you are way off base....i see this over and over again.....
wrap your pants with 20 to 30 layers of aluminium wrap, the kind in the kitchen.
this way it works not matter what bike you are on, or which direction you face on the bike
and then if the aluminium foil inside your helmet, the one held in with hellman's mayonaisse[ not miracle whip!], falls out [or turns up mysteryiously missing], you have some extra so that the waves from the aliens in outer space, when they are in orbit around earth, can not cook you brain and suck out your essence.

of course, you could send the money for a cool eline guard....lets see looking cool with your mind drained, or safe from outer space????

for some of you 'oddballs', it's probably a tuff choice.

tuts :devil:

Please send some of what your taking please....

When "the truth becomes lies" you will be on the same dope as that dope :lol:
