Wrapping Exhaust Pipe?

[zamfield]

After a few days of spirited riding, I can feel quite a bit of heat on my left leg / ankle area.
I know about the issues with previous years heat, but I thought the 2014 STs wouldn't have heat problems?

Thinking that maybe wrapping the pipe that comes down the left side, behind the panels will help... Thought's?

I did a temp reading with a infrared reader on the panels before it went into the shop for the new panels, 40 degree drop at the warmest point with the pipes wrapped. It's not a perfect fix but it does work.

I would wrap both pipes all the way past the Catalytic Converter and while you are at put insulation on the gas tank.
There are a lot of threads on the subject.

Good Luck
