2011 GSXR 750....putting on a set of Hot Bodies fairings. Bike has a full titanium exhaust. Do I need to put a heat shield on it? Also, has anyone tried the EVX wraps or a product like this? Thanks http://www.easyfairings.com/11-12-13-14-suzuki-gsxr-600-750-evx-blue-graphics-kit#!prettyPhoto
Don't wrap titanium piping, you'll accelerate the metal degradation. If the pipes are close to the lower fairings them consider that adhesive backed heat reflecting tape stuff.
SS is a little bit more resilient to breaking down from wrapping than Ti, but I wouldn't wrap either. If it really became necessary I'd get it like Jet Hot coated or something similar.
SP thanks for the info..... Regarding "wraps" I meant the kind that you put around your race fairings instead of painting it.
http://designstar3.com They've done all of our trailers, race bikes and anything else we needed (signs, shirts, etc.) for years.
I think what he is saying is, if he uses a wrap on his lower fairings will he need a heat shield between the exhaust and the lower fairings. My answer to that is yes use the stick on stuff that is about 3/16 thick stick it on the lower fairing not the exhaust. I've had paint ruined by close exhausts so wrap would be ruined.
no metric Mike hit the nail on the head. Trying to find if its worth to use a wrap on the race fairings versus painting
We still paint ours as a base. The wrap will stick to primer bodywork, but not as well. We have our painter do white uppers, tails and tanks and black lowers then give the DS3 guys the parts to do their thing.
what does something like that cost....yes I know it depends on the colors and details. Just a ballpark figure.
