Too bad this project is coming to an end! You've done some awesome work here man! Personally i learnt a lot from you and i thank you for that! Looking forward for the final couple of videos and of course your next project! Take care Cheers from Greece

[@iRidetas]

My pleasure mate, glad you enjoyed. There are a few things id like to do but cant really justify the cost at this point on the bike. I will probably do updates as i do things on it. Looking forward to more projects myself!

[@IronCrossRacing]

Dude, I'm digging that bobber build! It's looking pretty sweet! Good vid on wrapping the exhaust too. Stay safe out there!

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it! 😀

[@OldManTony]

Looks great, a good way of toning down all that shiny stuff!

[@iRidetas]

Yeah too much bling can be a bad thing!!! 😀

[@02bigkev]

Sounds good and that wrap will protect the legs as you say. Sweet build. RSM8

[@iRidetas]

Thanks. I and Mrs iridetas are pretty happy with how its come up! Much cooler imo than the original!

[@TheCoooool123]

1. Those zipties are what's manufactured for the wrap and should be used as they when tightened do not apply excessive pressure on exhaust wall when it heats up (if you don't have a stainless steel exhaust this is kinda bad with time) 2 even on a dual wall exhaust the wrap serves a purpose (if you have a shirt on you add your jumper... you feel warmer right?) 3 mega props for the water n silicone thing... I did not think of that, cheers dude

[@iRidetas]

Thanks mate! I still wont be using metal zip ties but so good points bro. Cheers

[@rakhmanbinsakwar470]

You used water and silicone?

[@iRidetas]

Watch the video mate!

[@rakhmanbinsakwar470]

@@iRidetas I did I just didn't hear you say silicone. I got some old breast implants laying around I'll throw in the water 😅😅

[@rakhmanbinsakwar470]

Been really impressed by the whole build. Really well done

[@allenpence1]

Awesome, I have been following this project. I think I am going to buy those pipes

[@iRidetas]

They aren't bad for the money, I prefer them wrapped but they sound good!

[@allenpence1]

iRidetas yes it does sound good. So I can’t just adjust the carb to get it to run right? I have to defiantly rejet?

[@iRidetas]

Each bike is different but mine did. Others haven't needed to

[@allenpence1]

iRidetas mine is fully stock right now. I would really like to get some sound out of it so I think these pipes would do good for a fraction of the price of other ones. Yours is looking really good!

[@iRidetas]

If it's stock no intake mods you may get away with out tenet. You will know if you need to pretty quickly if you do

[@chrissauer1498]

sounds and looks great

[@iRidetas]

Thanks bro, those pipes dont sound bad hey!

[@czechmate9591]

Nice dude, looking good did it make it louder or not much difference

[@iRidetas]

Louder for sure mate!

[@MeBirdAdventures]

Nice work buddy gilbys almost done what's next mate keep up the vids 👍🇦🇺

[@iRidetas]

Cb250rs brat and triumph speedmaster 😀 Thanks mate!

[@RidinCountry]

Now why would you want to put Xmas lights up now when summer is almost here?? 😉 Here in Florida, they have all these colorful lights EVERYWHERE!! Very cool actually. I feel like putting on white pants and rollin' in my convertible looking to meet a Coke dealer but kinda afraid of getting arrested by Sonny Crockett!!!.... Oh yeah, as always, great job. I've never actually seen that do e before! 👍👍

[@iRidetas]

Lol i can imagine you in white pants pink shirt getting all miami vice like! My guess is youd have to have a big ass bagger with a 30inch front to roll with the squad on sou beach man!

[@ap523asst6]

Hey mate, just brought these pipes, how much heat wrap was in the roll and how much did you use? I am going to purchase a 5m roll, will that be enough to do both pipes? Cheers.

[@iRidetas]

5m no chance sorry mate! I used 10m at 25mm and it only just covered it!

[@ap523asst6]

Okay thanks heaps

[@BOBBER400]

NICE

[@iRidetas]

Thanks! 😀

[@williamminegite1933]

will there be any difference in sound after you put in the heat wrap?

[@iRidetas]

No

[@mikeharman3460]

Hey mate, did you have any issues with the single wall exhaust getting too hot at the top and melting the surrounding tubing before you wrapped it?

[@iRidetas]

Nope i dont! Sure its not running way to lean?

[@mikeharman3460]

iRidetas I’ve ordered the pipes and am just wondering what I might need to do when I get them. If I rejet, add high flow filters and adjust it, it should run fine. I think I’ll wrap it anyway tho. Great videos by the way, so helpful to a rookie like myself!

[@iRidetas]

Glad yours arent melting things! Yup i would absolutely rejet doing pods and pipes. Easy job and good insurance! Good luck!

[@zachohearn2555]

can you please tell me which pipes you got im making the changes to my virago
