BBBs03e09 | Exhaust Wrap or Header Pipe Wrap | Virago 750 or XV750

Always loved the wrapped header look. Like an old school hot rod!

[@iRidetas]

For sure! Exactly why i love it too mate! Cheers

[@markoevo]

never thought of that starting at the back , learn something every day

[@iRidetas]

Makes it last longer as the edges arent all frayed!

I'm a fan of wrapped pipes on certain bikes & Steve falls into that category for me. If people are worried that their exhaust will deteriorate when wrapped why not paint it first to seal it? Nice job m8 : )

[@iRidetas]

Cheers! I dont love it on sport bikes but cruisers and retros for sure! Yup could ceramic coat it or the likes absolutely. Hope your well!

That's exactly how I done and still some yoke needed to comment about rust - funny though that those comments come from people who put out zero content themselves - armchair mechanics I call them :P

[@iRidetas]

Yeah ive had people email, DM etc all hot under the collar, when i did Doug. Funny what can trigger people 🤷‍♂️😃

Nice one! Good tip about starting at the back! You wouldn't be surprised to know I got a nasty comment as well when I wrapped Badger lol. Piggy has wraps as well just because I like the utilitarian look of it. Also spreading on a coat of heat resistant coating before applying the wrap helps. When you store the bike in a dry place, even after a ride in the rain, the heat will dry it up and it will stay dry. I did take the pipes of when I wrapped mine, was a bit easier to do, but hey, whatever works, works. Thanks for the vid, that tip from starting at the back is something I had not figured!

[@iRidetas]

Haha that doesnt suprise me at all!!! I might try heat resistant coating next time and see the difference, thank you for the tip! I do keep my bikes in the shed for sure. Hope your traveling well mate 😃 always good to hear from you!

[@RVRCloset]

I had wraps on my W650, I really like the look.

[@BigBert]

Looks cool wrapped mate 😎🤙🏻

[@iRidetas]

Cheers i was pretty happy!

[@craigwilliams3855]

Luv it wouldnt ride my vrod without exhaust wrap leg still burns but not as bad with unwrap pipe. Plus looks good

[@iRidetas]

Im right with ya mate, think wrap is cool. Had singlevwall exhaust on my ironhead and couldnt get near it without been burned. 😀👍

[@theobviouschicken]

Huge fan of wrapped pipes. Not so much of a fan of the work needed to wrap them though. it's a ball-ache of a job on a car and I thought it would be easier on a motorcycle. Agree starting from back to front is a good tip. Bike looks a shed load better with it done.

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate, really stoked with the kind comment and how it turned out. Cheers!

[@ConwayMatthews]

Looks really good

[@iRidetas]

Thanks

[@whytboy5566]

look awesome. have you ever got near the end and run short?

[@iRidetas]

Yeah I have, but you can alter the over lap a bit to help string it out further!

[@jeffsinfield2085]

As you said, to each his own but have to say I love the look. Did you have much tape left over and is it worth keeping after it has been soaked?

[@iRidetas]

Nah had about 1m left can dry it out but wasnt enough left to worry about this time! Cheers

[@SLEBZ666]

I like the wrapped pipes, I'm quite keen to do it once I'm off my 125cc onto a bigger bike. Do the wraps need replaced or changed once on?

[@iRidetas]

Nah usually last ages, will fade over time, the stuff on my 1100 been on for four years

[@SLEBZ666]

[@LanthusClark]

Done right wrapping is cool. Besides, who cares what some online whiners opinion is? Not me that's for sure! 😎 Keep the vids coming bud! 👍

[@iRidetas]

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed!
