Great video and beautiful bike. Thanks for sharing.

I'm thinking of wrapping my 2004 FZ1 with the dark exhaust wrap.

Anything I need to watch out for?

@thepopularjock well, it was my first time, and i needed the pieces i cut to be longer than the simple formula they gave by at least a foot, and make sure you soak em in water for a while before trying to wrangle them into pisition, way easier to work with..good luck and thank. its not really that hard, just keep it tight while you go down the tube.

Is it normal if the white wrap goes yellow at the first engine start? Or do i have a problem? Does this thin burn if it isn't a good quality?

[heybulldog13]

@tommaroulakis no its completely normal

what's the point of doing this? I've does straps on chopers but those huys thit it not get heat burn from the exhaust?

[heybulldog13]

@sebazx6r i did it for looks, but, car racers do it to reduce underhood heat, as heat reduces horsepower. for me it was purely cosmetic

glad You like it :).

@tommaroulakis you should be fine, mine changed color a little after it took a set

took about  2 hours, never attempted doing this before..

@f15h2008 bought a 50 foot roll, used about 3/4..with one ''mess up'' its gotta be wet when put on, and no i used no silicone, like the natural look better
