Hi

Went to talk to a local bike shop here (is the only one that touch Harley over here on my city) and I talk about wrapping the pipes and he told me thats a litle dificult to wrapp all to the muffler becouse of bolts, the F*** valve there is on European bikes ...

Same photos ...


The wrapp would be near the marked spot.




From another view (Valve, bolts ....)






Is it so dificult? any other option?

The guy told me that i could put same kind of "small heat shield" between the muffler and the wrap. But it would be ungly ...or not???!!!
