exhaust wraps

Post by Swany »

I'm thinking of putting on exhaust wraps, are there any problems that this might cause? My bike is a 2004 R1150R ABS with 16K miles currently has an exhaust tip, (I pulled the muffler so I can fit the full size case}. I saw the way the exhaust wrap looks on the Blitz motorcycles and think it looks great.

Theres not really any performance to be gained unless youre a "tweak out every last HP kinda guy... IT moves the heat out of the end of the exhaust quicker... but on the boxer. I'm not totally sure it would matter unless at the highest of rpms.

but as a fashion statement, if you dig it, it's your bike. It wont hurt anything.

you are running a deleted muffler WITH bags? trying to visualize. does that bag get really hot?

no it doesn't, the exhaust tip is angled down and slightly out, I also have that heat resistant foil under the bag. It really works great

Peels, not they don't, I have the exhaust tip angled down and to the side and I also have the heat resistant foil under the case, works great. I normally ride without the cases, but when I need them it's nice to have plenty of room.

I have full DEI titanium exhaust wrap on my Rockster. Looks cool and does keep the heat inside the pipes.
