trickedcarbine Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Next time you put the heat wrap on, soak it first, and pull it tight, it will mold to the pipe better, holds the tag end better too. Rust? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 It should only oxidize a little if any being aluminum. Plus any wrap will keep moisture in. I'm going to order some sleeves though. Another local shop does ceramic powder coating but i havent heard any proof there's keeps heat in locally.

trickedcarbine Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 The chrome it's wrapped around isn't aluminum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Oh OK. That sucks. So I take it the chrome will rust under the wrap from moisture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Oh OK. That sucks. So I take it the chrome will rust under the wrap from moisture? Especially Shearers junk chrome. But didn't you have cascade chrome yours? All the ore reason to make sure it's taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Just as well. That's nice chrome. You wouldn't want it all pitted and crusty would ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Never said I did. I'm asking these questions to best preserve it. Like I said, I'm ordering the sleeves tonight. I wish it had velcro so I didn't have to disassemble the pipes to remove them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it had velcro so I didn't have to disassemble the pipes to remove them. I've used the sleeve on stuff that was smaller like a pit bike exhaust. Just put a clean slice down it and use zip ties to hold it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagunCajun Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 yes. about 10-15 kicks. Most of them was with one spark plug boot on. I told myself not to forget that.....and here we are. Going run to the store and get some distilled water(i already have a bottle of water wetter). I'm not using 50/50 just yet just in case.

RagunCajun Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 seat cover on http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/DSC02111_zpsfeblhxqj.jpg Came out good enough considering i never did it before. Now ima go wrench. I'm debating throwing on my stock rotor so i can ride thing today. My new rotor be here until Tuesday. I have to figure out why my LED's dont shut off, and button up a few things. Can anyone tell me what the piece is called that missing. It's for the cooling system. I bought a polished cover from Phelps. I want to buy a spare piece like that just in case i damage mine taking it out my sold case. I have a spare clutch cover gasket, water pump gas, bearing and seal so my old clutch cover is staying on until i have that piece in my hand. On the exploded views on OEM part sites, it isnt listed unless like usual, i missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
