Awesome series! Looking forward to seeing this bike completed!

[@lukechvojka3095]

Great job on the exhaust pipe, can’t wait to see the bike when it’s done!

[@peteh6245]

As mentioned before. Start the wrap from the rear to prevent the edges from fraying. Also soak the wrap prior to applying. After it dries the is a clear coat for header wrap that hardens and protects the wrap. Keeping the heat in should improve performance a tad bit.

Great video! Exhaust pipes look great!

[@mattlloyd1848]

That’s looks great man!

I'd like to start riding on an XR,I'll def save your videos for future use 👌

[@franckjaredd]

Great job man. I find it easier to soak the fiber wrap in water before hand; when it evaporates it causes the wrap it shrink up a little tighter on the header.

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

That's a great idea. It also cuts down on fiberglass dust

[@franckjaredd]

@@WeekendAdventureRides Yes sir, also when I do mine I wrap starting from the exhaust and work my way towards the two exhaust ports; when you see the wrap pattern you'll see the aerodynamics I'm talking about. Great video and I love the clean edits though!👏👌

I did all the Gordon Mods on My 99 XR 250 and Lexx Exhaust, It was reliable but never had much more than 20 HP.

[@cooganbeggs4942]

brother this is amazing work just like your other xr250 vids but I feel like I have to say it ...please protect yourself from some of these particles and chemicals. They aren‘t good for your health ole top

[@darrenkaspers9331]

Finally someone mentioned it 💪👍

[@YetiShots]

remember to wrap the opposite way, all of the flaps will catch wind and make it floppy quick.

[@unclequack5445]

I soak my wrap in water before wrapping it makes it easier to use.

[@santiagorestrepo6339]

does que fiber glass tape has to be wetted or dip in water before applying it to wrap the exhaust ?. i have heard that it help to tighten the tape. it will dry and maybe help to cure when the tape its heated.

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Yes it helps to wet the fiberglass before you wrap it, also cuts down on fiberglass particles.

[@unclequack5445]

Did you get the motor back together yet?

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Yes it's finished

[@michaelgoldstein4449]

What was that metal etcher that you used?

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Por 15 metal prep

[@nonormies2837]

What kind of metal prep did you use

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Por-15. Its a metal etch and rust neutralizer

Anyone have an header pipe for an 85 xr250r for sale? All ones ive found r beat to shit, and the one that is on the bike looks like a 4 yr old welded 5 diff pieces of pipe together.

[@WeekendAdventureRides]

Ebay, your best bet. I don't think there's anything in the aftermarket

[@_-gh0st-_]

@@WeekendAdventureRides yeah ive found a few on ebay that'll work, gna pull the trigger on one here soon. I looked around for aftermarket, no luck.. not on that year anyhow. Thank u for the reply amigo 👍
