I've got a few thousand on mine and they still smoke and smell a little. My first ride after the install when the wrap was still wet I was smoking out the neighborhood.

Get her out on the highway as early as you can. Mine smoked the first day. Rode maybe an hour at highway speeds before the smoke subsided. Stink hung around for a few days. Smelled kinda like Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Weird.

Ride fast and leave the smoke behind you while you burn 'em in.

When by brother rides with me he always says the smell makes him hungry when we're parked side by side at stop lights.

I did mine today. They smoked pretty good at first. I thought the lady at the gas station was going to call the fire department. I rode 11 miles to the nearest gas station to the house. By the time I got home the smoking was done, but they still smell..........I love the smell.
