jamebo Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Recently purchased an '87 Banshee with a set of what I believe to be old school Bill's pipes. Problem is the right side pipe by the airbox area is close enough to the rear fender to melt the plastics. I just put new plastics on it, so I definitely don't want a hole burned through them. Looking for a quick fix on this, maybe some header wrap from the local auto parts store. Has anybody here had this problem before and tried this stuff out with good results? Quote
Nightmare Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 I'm using header wrap on mine and it works good. f.a.s.t racing sells some nice ones. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote

I would order some from F.A.S.T., but looking to fix it today so I can get some ride time in. Thanks for the reply, man. Quote

IceAlmeida Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 im not sure about those bills pipes but just double check there isnt a left side right side and they are on the wrong side. Quote
Paulie B Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 I used it to shield my pipe from the gas tank. No problems here. Quote
jamebo Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Posted January 7, 2013 I believe they are on the correct sides. The left side is not as close to the plastics, not sure why the right side is though.. maybe a slight defect in the angle on the pipe. Didn't make it to the parts store today, but definitely stopping by after work tomorrow. Quote
jamebo Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Posted January 7, 2013 That wrap looks clean on that pipe, Paulie. Glad to hear the good reviews on header wrap. I just dropped some coin on Maier plastics, and would hate to melt a hole through them, lol. Also added some replica 1987 Banshee graphics which were a real PITA to get right. I sure don't want to do all that again. Quote
IceAlmeida Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 left is usually the longer side. Quote
jamebo Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Posted January 7, 2013 I'll take a closer look at them tomorrow with the plastic off, probably go ahead and remove the stingers and swap them out to make sure. Hoping I get off work and home before dark, but I never can tell with my job. Quote
