Update: After a few good rocky trails in Wales this got shredded to pieces! It started falling apart closer to the muffler and then the rest of it came off in bits… Once i’ll get to it, i think i’ll wrap only the part that is under the brake pedal, no more, no less!
Before I’ll show you how I did it, let me first tell you how I came up with that silly idea!
Long story short, it was a long trip to Wales to test our gear for the upcoming TET Wales trip!
After a few hours on the motorway I decided to stop for refreshments. While having a break, i thought i’ll check SatNav on AJP PR7. Obviously like an absolute numbnut, I approached the bike from the right side, leaned on it while playing with SatNav, and here… a very expensive lesson learned! Gore-tex and hot exhaust pipe mix very well creating a big molten plastic blob!
Wrapping the exhaust with a Wrap.
Wrapping exhaust is not that difficult. In short- put your gloves on, dip wrap in the water, wrap it around exhaust, tie it, heat it up or let it dry and you are done!
However to do it properly it takes a bit more than that.
First dipping the wrap into water helps to stretch it, and when it dries out it shrinks and makes itself even tighter.
Metal Cable ties are not meant to be left as permanent fixtures. However most do anyway.
After the wrap is dry, best is to coat it with high temperature sealant. Should stop it from absorbing moisture and rotting exhaust pipe.
As you can see from the picture I left mine with metal cable ties and uncoated, so let’s just call it a “half a** job” and move on!
