I bought some Accel black header wrap for my V&H comp exhaust and was extremely disappointed to find out it was nearly died white header wrap,and then even more the first time I washed my bike when the black bleed right out of it!

You guys know of a better wrap that's going to stay black or have minor fading?

 

Use black header wrap coating? I've never had any of that bleed.

 

DEI makes good stuff, but never used the black wrap. You can always dye it with vinyl dye, too.

 

I love the titanium color

 

Even the best wraps need to be painted with high temp coatings on initial installation. And then re-coated from time to time. J&P Cycle sells it but lately I've been using high temp barbecue paint from the hardware store. Works just as good and it's cheaper . . .
