Default Headder Wrapping
How easy is this to do? I just saw it on a bike not but 2 hours ago and I like it. Just wondering how easy and expensive it may be.

the wrap is about $30.00, you will need to remove the exhaust from the bike, remove the heat shields if any or if you can, wrap then re-install. Depends on how much time and patience you have. It think it looks awesome on the right bike. I will definitely be doing it on the project bike i plan on doing this next fall after the riding season is over.

How do you secure the end of the wrap from comming undone? Do you use some sort of hose clamp?

When you start, wrap around about 2 times then start to over lap. You can uses some safety wire or a hose clamp. Most use the safety wire. You will also want to wet the wrap as well to make it easier to wrap. After you wrap and go for a ride the water is eliminated by the heat.

If you look at some bikes that have it done you can see how they attached it.

Default RE: Headder Wrapping
I just picked up some wrap ($50 for 50 feet) - Pep Boys didn't have (or even know what I was asking for) so had to go to a hot-rod store. Also picked up some paint from them that you are apparently supposed to spray over the wrap when done. What I'm not sure is do I have to install the pipes, get the wrap hot (and dry for the water) and then uninstall and paint - or can I let the pipes/wrap air dry and then paint?

Anyone had any experience with that?

Thanks for the link. I love the look.

I wrapped my pipes on my '06 Street Bob to the Slip-ons with DEi wrap and it looks killer! I bought it from www.eastwoodco.com and I got the stainless straps and a can of Hi-Temp Silicone Coating.
