Heat wrap
Has anyone tried wrapping the headers and put the heat shields back on. I have been thinking about it, but wondered if there is a draw back to doing it. My right foot gets pretty hot some times on my FLHTK
If the heat is down on your right foot does it still have the cat in the pipe ? Wrapping the pipes can cause the pipe to rust or crack from what I have heard .. Good luck .

Back in 2010 I cut out the catalytic converter out of my head pipe with a hack saw on my 2010 FLHTK, had it welded it back together, (cost me $20), wrapped with the head pipe from about a inch from both cylinder heads all the down over the junction area with header wrap. Recovered with the stock chrome heat shields. No problems over 6 years now.
