I wrapped the left side last year, and there is a noticeable difference. After the initial burn-in, you shouldn't expect any smoke.

The last time I was in the States I puurchased the tape for wrapping the exhuast pipes but I did not purchase the aerosol container with the glue or whatever it is because I knew it would be confiscated when my suitcase was inspected. Now I don't know what I should use to glue the tape in place. Any ideas. Many thanks. Arthur, <xe1ll@prodigy.net.mx>

I used safety wire. Wraped the first round around the pipe, and wired it. Took it to the other end, the clamp side, and put the clamp around it.
I did both manifold pipes, cut my hands up in the process, and removed the muffler and cross over pipe. Makes it a lot easier. Wrap them up, put it
back together, and rode it. Talk about smoke. I would advise to ride it for about an hour before pitting it up for the night. I set the smoke detector
off in the garage.
