Opinions - Exhaust Wrap?
Am considering putting exhaust wrap on my K3 sv650, possibly in black. What are people's general opinions on it? And whether you think it'd suit my bike?

Re: Opinions - Exhaust Wrap
CRAP.. don't waste your money. you'll be putting rim tape on next and monster stickers all over it.

Doesn't suit newer shaped bikes IMO

Re: Opinions - Exhaust Wrap?
I would never add exhaust wrap for cosmetic reasons, it looks terrible. As a means of containing/controlling heat fair enough, but on a road bike I wouldn't bother.
I used it to protect my fragile race fairing from burning through and keep heat away from my rear shock on the race bike. |

I've heard that as well on the TL forum, but in the same way that short journeys in the car rot the back box...it had happened when a lot of short journeys were done, the wrap kept getting wet and the exhaust didn't get hot enough to dry. This is paraphrasing a little and was only what somone had reported...it was a street bike though so I doubt you would see the effect on a track/race bike (I'm assuming that's what Flymo's experience is from?) Unless it's a bit of a rat bike and part or the 'look' then...No
