I now have a pile of rust coloured snow and no exhaust, Lesson Learned.

If anyone in NEW ZEALAND has a spare exhaust from a gs650e or 550e I'm looking...

I'm sure environment plays a role, but I'd never wrap a bike exhaust. It doesn't even look good.

I had mine blasted and ceramic coated before wrapping. Hope that works for me. To each his own, GS1150Pilot.

Wrapped exhaust is FUGLY and looks cheap. It's silly.

I reckon that's a Sagar pipe from the late 80's early 90's. I've seen enough of them...
Check with wreckers or trademe for either usable OE or a Cycleworks pipe.

Yeah the "garage" has a constant 90% humidity, more like a cave. I think wraps look Cooool, like a mummy .

Interesting, I just assumed a cycleworks pipe. The PO said they where from a GS550 , needed to be lightly spread but worked pretty good..Yeah I've been stalking Tradeyou, and ebay. CW exhaust is looking about 7-800 bucks, but at least its designed for the bike, and i know what happens if you wrap 'em.

Wrong, it looks neat, but yeah it looks cheap and yes it is silly, like smoking.

Like a mummy, it's dead.

You're entitled to your opinion. If you think it looks "neat", then wrap it up. Just don't be offended when i point at your bike and laugh.

I agree that smoking is silly, and worse.

thank you for the "entitlement", very gracious of you. If you laugh at my bike ATM it means your in my "garage" next to a pile of rust and half unwrapped headers, come up and and i'll make you a cuppa, or I'll take offence. Neatly re-wrapping the headers now probably would achieve far less but thank you for the advice.

But it still looks cool, till you take off the bandages after 3000 or say 3 years.

LOL... Anytime. If I'm ever down in Kiwi Land, I'll take you up on the offer of a cuppa.

Er ... well, if you say so.
