RE: Wrapping Pipes
Chipster, black is cool - but black on black on black is too much. You need to use a white wall or red pin stripe on rim or it just turns into a large black hole. Many jap bikes do all black on purpose on wheels so you will look at the fancy body and motor and don't look at the cheap production wheels...Now a bike that matched your hot rod - BAD O....

Wrapped pipes will radiate less heat and supposedly keep the heat in the pipe better which translates into more performance through better scavanging.
I do not know if I am 100% sold on all of that, but it will result in the outside of the pipes putting less heat out making red lights and traffic in hot weather more comfortable.

I found this while searching around on the net. They say that wrapping the pipes will eventually cause premature failure due to lack of heat dissipation.
Just something to ponder.
