Title: where to buy exhaust wrap/insulation?
Post by: Gippslander on March 13, 2016, 07:34:31 pm

Getting the old Husky ready for this season's racing and the exhaust is too close to the tank for my liking – looking for some wrap/insulation like this:

Anyone know what it's called and where I can buy that "tape"

 thanks

Its simply called exhaust wrap and you can get it at any Repco store. Comes in 7.5 & 15 m rolls and 25mm & 50mm width.
Beware if you ride a event in sloppy mud as if is left on for weeks before used again it will corrode the exhaust surface.Just unwind and lay out in sun to dry then use again

Yep the above stores have the item you seek. Please do not use that old heat lagging your mate, friend or neighbour has "in the shed somewhere". It most likely has plenty of "Wittenoom" in it.

gippslander just done a exhaust on the weekend   I YouTube for some clues on how to wrap. they recommended to soak it in water.  It`s a fibreglass product so wear gloves
