What did you do to your bike today?

Took the exhaust cam out to figure out why the Hotcam won't turn over my e-start. Hmmmm, what seems wrong in this picture. Stock cam on the left, hotcam on the right. Decomp pin is the thingy sticking out
Stripped #5 down to give a more thorough cleaning.
Good thing I did, since I did not put this bike together myself, I found a few bolts coming loose and also plastic that was left on from the shipping.
Also noticed something was not right on my top triple clamp...
I just could not put my finger on it...
Aw they left these stickers off. I found them in my documents.
With the Mapping switch moved to the Advanced setting and these stickers now applied......
There will be some serious roost coming off the back tire.
I was distracted though later in the day when putting #5 back together. My grandson paid us a visit and the girls left to go do girl things, so I threw little man in his pimp shirt and hat and cruised the neighborhood for some pit lizards...

That would be the reason to use it. I never used it before as well, but I never felt any heat coming off my pipe that required me to use it. Not sure what it does to the pipe over time and how fun it is to clean either. I know that I am not a fan of the looks, but that's just me.QUESTION... I've never used header tape before.. what are the pros and cons of it? I am considerign wrapping a part of the pipe that's right next to my leg... it gets really hot while doing the 1st/2nd (RACK) gear thing...
Thought of that too....X2
Make a heat sheild out of SS and hose clamps.
Palmer just like to use the words hose and clamps in the same sentence. He wasn't trying to be helpful. You might be able to manufacture something cheaper but E-line sells heat shield parts for various applications. I like to use various applications in the same sentence while also being helpful.Thought of that too....

$100 for a guard from e-line... PLUS it has to be welded on. I'm leaning more towards a hose clamp (there I said it too) method!

Actually, Buttheads 250 had the wrap where it went by the tank, and it held up well.

I had one for my 450 quad years ago that utilized the clamp on hose system. Wow, that was a mouth full. 
I made my own on my Husqvana bikes and they have never failed even made one for a guy in Washington. He liked my "Hose Clamp" idea on his pipe.
