Ditto. What is it, where do you get it and how much is it.
And does it work?

Its a exhaust heat wrap, I purchesed it from the local Checker automotive shop, its made by DEI (Design Engineering Inc.) www.DesignEngineering.com
A little pricey about $50.00 US. you dry wrap the pipes first to estamate length needed, allow for a little extra. then cut and soak in water to ease in wraping. Wrap tight and strap a start, than wrap overlaping 1/8" to end and strap. When finished, let dry then spray/paint and your ready to reinstall pipe/s... piece of cake.
I got the following items:
1) Motorcycle wrap, 1 roll 1" X 50'. part # 010101
2) 14" Stainless Steel locking ties, 4 per pack. part # 010202
3) Hi-Temp silicone coating (black) 1 can. part # 010301

Did you take the exhaust pipes off to do it?

Looks a really neat job..But look at that shock linkage, how do you keep them so clean..

Heat coming through the fairing is a good thing over here fella, but wrapping the rear header is a good idea to keep heat from the shock, as you can see i used a fine wire to bind mine as well, helps to keep it in place, buy from Demon Tweeks in the UK lads

Like Badger, I did my rear pipe where it runs close to the shock and also the part of the pipe close to the rear brake master cylinder.

yeah badger certainly knows his stuff about milles!
though i think by the condition (and all the gorgeous parts) of that factory its his precious which never sees a drop of rain or wet roads, well if you had several bikes, you would keep the nicest in the best of conditions
could be wrong tho, he may just have miracle bucket soap and water to keep it sparkly clean inside out

Thanks for the comments peeps:biggrin
I can assure you it gets ridden, i have done approx. 55 K on Mille's, luv em to bit's:inlove, although the bike is clean it is not a showpiece, i like to keep them clean coz when you are cleaniong them you are also having a closer look at the bike and can spot any developing problems etc.
A clean bike is usually a well maintained bike as well, worth the time and effort IMO:biggrin
