Anyone wrapped their exhaust?
«

My bike has a salvage title and because of which will never be a show bike. I'm trying to clean it up some, but within a reasonable $$.
My chrome exhaust shrouds have both had the hold down clips rust off. I really can't justify the $150-200 for truck stacks, so I'm debating wrapping with fiberglass.
Has anyone got pictures what it looks like? I don't want to do it only to find out it looks bad.
Thanks

I wondered several times what it would look like, but never found a picture.
I'm not looking to wrap mine, but I'm very interested to see how they would look.
One thing I DID see was a GL1100 wing with wrapped headers... only 4 to wrap, but looked pretty cool. of course, there's no way I'd be able to find the picture again.

If it is just the clips rusted off you could get some new ones spot welded on at cheap $'s I would have thought. Alternatively what about some large diameter stainless steel, what we call jubilee clips not sure what you guys call them, like petrol pipe worm drive clips and polish them? You could get them big enough at any marine supplier, it was what I intended to do until I found a good set of s/h exhausts at the right price.

Mine did the same thing. I found some 4" hose clamps at Lowes that have a stainless finish. They look OK and are easy to replace should they start to look bad. In the pluming supplys
