i just wrapped mine last weekend, its kind of expensive ($40) and smokes like crazy for the first 20 minutes or so. but it does keep alot of heat off your leg. i only wrapped mine so that i can ride in shorts in the dunes.my hrc kit for my new 08 just showed up anyone have any imput on if i should wrap the head pipe or just put the gaurd back on it from the stock one[/b]
I use the Thermo-Tec black 1" wide wrap, and yes, I spray 3 coats of the hi-tempwhat wrap are u guys using?
and did you guys use the protective spray after it was wrapped?[/b]

this is all good input what about proformance wise no advantagesWe wrapped the header on the black 450r in the quad-innovations 450r build topic. We used the same method used above. It works really well and looks very nice. We wash our machines after every race / practice and the black does come out. We have to re-spray the black thermo coating every time after we wash it....[/b]

It is "claimed" that there are performance advantages due the heat being kept inside the pipe causeing the exhaust flow to exit at an accclerated rate. or something like that...this is all good input what about proformance wise no advantagesWe wrapped the header on the black 450r in the quad-innovations 450r build topic.

That's what I think also...i think the coating probably increases the life of the wrap by sealing it. probably helps keep some of the color in it longer.[/b]
