Wrap Problem
Hi
I will put same Rush Slip-ons and ... I 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???!!!

Just wrapped mine last night. An extra set of hands would have been nice at times but it was fairly easy. I worked around a couple of brackets and the 02 sensor bungs just fine. I am very happy with the way it turned out.

Do it yourself! Easy, but use gloves and long sleeve shirt!. And have a spraybottle with water to wet the wraps with while wrapping.'
Remove ALL the heat shilds aswell...wrapp the "pipes" only. Skip the shilelds!
By the way: where in europe?

I am Portuguese but I live at Spain 
Thanks for the replys ... i will see what to do.
I am a litle confuse ... same friends tell me to not buy the Rush slip-ons and wait to have a litle more money and buy a full exhaust like the V&H Big shoots...
I have the SEST at home and the SE/AC on the way ... and few bucks on the wallet now ...
Is better to wait and buy full pipes or the Rush Slip-ons are just good ?

Listen to your friend. Most people that I know that bought slip-ons ended up getting a full exhaust later.
As far as wrapping you pipes, like the other guys said wear gloves, long sleeve shirt and wet the wraps. And if you are using black, prepare to get messy.

Wetting the wrap makes it night and day, I soaked mine for 15 minutes in a bucket of water before I wraped my old thunderheader!

If you soak the wrap, watch what you are wrapping them over. I still have black stains on my back porch from wrapping my Ironhead pipes.
