And Another Mod for the New Bike, Earlier Rather Than Later ...

I did a little reading about wrapping exhaust pipes, and talked with my mechanic friend about it, and it seems like something worth doing. The increased internal heat actually improves bike performance a little; on the external side, you're less likely to burn your leg on the pipe.

And! It will just look better to run  a black wrapped exhaust pipe than a plain stainless steel pipe on a black and yellow bike with a black muffler. It seems like it's worth the $15 for a roll of the tape.

And! Might as well get it done before putting the new exhaust on the bike in the first place than put it on then have to take it off to wrap.

So that's ordered. The exhaust will probably get here before the bike does, so I can do that work while waiting.
