Much as I'd love to resolve the heat issue - that photo of the 998 doesn't inspire me: Looks rather ugly compared to the naked pipes....

Aah, just looked at the Jet Hot 'polished finish' ceramic coating - now that does look interesting!

Any one at DSC have any experience of this? And, is the higher exhaust gas temp through the end mufflers an issue?

Many thanks

Only complaint is when fresh out of the package, it was darker black than it is now. Wetting it and then cranking the bike to dry it out made it fade slightly but no big deal.

At last! I was waiting for you to get back with pics!

Some might not like it, but I don't think its too bad at all. I've already bought the wrap, will be doing it to mine soon. Have you got any tips or pointers? Did you take the pipes off, or do them in situ? Did you soak the wrap in water? What did you use to tie the ends?

Take some more pics further away from the bike, perhaps we can get a better idea of what it looks like. You're right about it fading a little, looks a lot darker when its rolled up in the packet!

Can you feel any reduction in heat?
