Exhaust Protection

[bakingpowder11]

What are some peoples opinions and ideas on protecting themselves from getting burned by the exhaust. I have CPI inframes and it seems every time i ride i end up getting burned on my legs. Has anyone done something to prevent this and have pictures of their setup. I'm sure just about everyone on here has been burned a time or two. haha

yes i got burned but not by my cpi's. Just wear pants and you'll be fine. :thumbsup:

Pants and boots. Only way to fly.

Ya i was wearing pants ha ha. I knew that was coming. i've melted riding pants and i can still get burned through jeans too. I have the old style cpi's and they are huge. they are right in the way. so your almost always touching your pipes with your legs when you ride.

On my pants, I had my grandma sew in a section of ironing board material and then cover it with camo in the area where they burn. I have had zero issues since.

Hey that is a really smart idea... Now all i gotta do is find a grandma. hahaha

MOTOCROSS BOOTS. I have burn scars on both legs. Several burns. Now I wear boots, with or without shorts. :thumbsup:

im one of those guys that if im out just cruising around on the banshee ive been known to wear shorts and flipflops. my t5's awalys gave me a hassle with burns (even when i wear pants and boots) so one day after feeling the pain of 1 praticular burn that kept getting burned over and over again i went and bought some moose pipe armour. it somes in a semi circular tube that you cut and form to youre pipes for a custom fit.

thats a long link, if it doesnt work for you go to google and search for "moose pipe armor".

 

the fitting is not too bad, it took me about 30 minutes per side. you have to order 2 pipe armours because they are actually designed for a 2 stroke single cylinder dirtbike. the armour works really good. after a hard romp on the banshee i can hold the pipe armour with my hand for about 8 seconds before it start to hurt. this is PLENTY of time to move youre leg when you feeling it start to get hot. pipe armour is worth every penny. oh and compared to exhaust wrap. pipe armour cleans off with a towel. it doesnt get dirty and stained like exhaust wrap. it doesnt hold moisture like wrap either.

 

most people who have seen my pipe armour in person really like the looks as well. it looks kind of like a backbone or something.

 

 

So i've heard that you have bought something to protect yourself from getting burned by your pipes, like an exhaust shield or something if you have any pictures could you please send them to me.

I run PT mids so there is NO issue with burns (LOL)

You could duct tape oven mits to your legs. (I am only half way kidding) :biggrin:

If I ran PT mids I'd strap some of these to bottom of the pipes since they're so close to the underside of the quad. Seems like they would be really easy to ding, kind of like the pic of the dirtbike pipe where it sits at the same level as the frame rails. Do you ever have any issues with them on trails or playing around?

there are riding pants out there with leather reinforcements on the inner leg just for that reason, fox - thor - etc. bud, i can't believe you ride in shorts and flip flops hey you could always get different pipes if they are that bad for you. :shrug:
