Very nice, it looks fantastic.  Wrapping is going to be my little project this week.  I've wrapped my Honda and a buddys CB500, so I'm familiar with the process.  Thanks for the quick pic.

Does anyone know what the length and diameter of a 620s piping is?  Just need to know how much wrap I'm going to need to purchase.

i know that pipe wrapping serves a legitimate purpose, and is used in racing situations for good reason, etc, etc.

but damn.. no matter what reasoning you use, it alwasy looks like someone didnt' design the bike right and this was a "jerry rig" type of solution.

looks like someone is using a big bandage to keep the bike together.   like an afterthought of sorts.

Be prepared for the stink and smoke that has to burn off.  It isn't a pleasant smell.

PM me if you have any questions on how I did mine. 

Get out of here with that picture!!!  Every time I see that I miss my zards.

I wraped my 620 after the high pipes ate a pair of sidi's.  The kit is enough to wrap a 4 cylinder bike so the twin has plenty of left over.  I think it calle thermo wrap or cool wrap either way motowheels has it.

Well, took me over three hours to get everything ripped apart (way easier on my Honda) and wrap the pipes.  I got a 50' x 1" roll.  Def wasn't enough.  I was able to wrap both pipes up until the 4 way intersection and I ran out.  Wondering if I should just leave it as is and paint the headers with black high heat or go out and buy some more.  I've got some pics I need to upload off my phone and we can take a vote.  I'm just exhausted (pun not intended... Okay, maybe a bit) after pulling everything apart. 

i've used 30' thermo wrap and 1 can of hi temp silicone coat.Soak it with water to make it easyr and tight.

Here's the "finished" results.  Think I'm going to wrap the header pipe because it just looks unfinished.  It's going to have to be on a warmer day because I froze my nuts and bolt off these past two days in my uninsulated garage.

One word of caution,  if you have titanium pipes, don't wrap and ride in the rain.  You'll end up with wrapping only, except for a nice yellow powder coating the inside of the wrap.  Very expensive yellow powder.

   Never heard of that.  If I had Ti pipes they would be seen.

that's interesting, why is that?

So here's a question in general: I've heard that cars use the wrap to keep under hood temps down and the exhaust gasses hotter so they travel through the long exhaust pipe easier, being less dense.  Since bikes have relatively short exhaust pipes and there's no hood to hold the heat in and steal performance, is there a performance based reason for wrapping bike pipes?  Obviously what's being discussed here is legitimate, superbikes roast riders at low speeds, but is it going to make any performance gains for the bike?

Thanks,
Scott

Good question...cant wait for the answer..

And just for the record, I know sometime it looks good.  No problem with a mod just for looks, just wondering if a bike gets anything else out of it.

Thanks again,
Scott
