any of you guys had problems with your leg getting too hot near that high mount exhaust? .. I am wondering if that asbestos like exhaust tape would help keep it cooler?
That's really goodNot motorcycle related, but I put a turbo wrap blanket on my MINI. You can put your hand on the metal shield even after it’s warm. I’d look into a similar product for hot pipes.
If TEC Triumph in UK doesn't have a problem with the wrap I would still go for it. Once you put it on you are not likely to take it off and potential esthetics is minor to safety in my opinion.I've been in contact with TEC Triumph here in the UK and they say the pipes here reduce in diameter and get very hot. They think that wrap here will reduce the heat on the riders leg so I've placed an order.
I think there will be enough to wrap the cat as well if I decide to

I doubt the wrap will smoke forever. My turbo wrap smoked just about 20 minutes and nothing after. There's turbo blankets which might fit under that shield. It will also smoke at first.I ordered the Zard defat header and was thinking about then just wrapping the pipe bits that are hidden by the heat shields just for good measure.. (not wrapping any exposed pipe, just the part near my leg). Is that unnecessary overkill?
As smoking, new, tape seems normal, I don't care if it smokes for a ride or two.. However it it keeps smoking forever that would be an issue..That, or I could paint the bike red and put a devil tail on it..
