Exhaust wrap.
Who has it? how do you like it?

I like to ride alot with shorts on, and Often times on the YFZ my leg gets burnt.. Not from touching or rubbing up against it, just the heat the pipe lets out, and the pipe seems alot closer to my leg than my honda's.

Im thinking of buying some header wrap and see if that helps.

Any downfall to doing this>

there really isnt any cons to the header wrap in my opinion. it keeps things cooler and doesnt look too bad to me. Another option would include making a heat sheild, or ceramic coating the header

I really don't feel comfortable wearing riding boots, It may not be "professional" but I just feel much more comfortable without them.

Ceramic coating the header = $$$$$ Pretty expensive, I could make a heat shield but I like the way the wrap looks on the pipe, I just didnt know if there was a negative to it. Not too many people have it (from what ive seen)

Only down side is when you use it on a steel exhaust which it traps moisture and makes it rust.

$2.70 a roll ? WTF?

No wonder they are sold out.

1"x50' Roll, pretty much the same roll at auto zone and local bike shop is $60.00
