Engine operating temperature - normal or not?

[sgollapalle]

talking of burning crotch... Has anyone had their pipes heat wrapped? How much does it help?
I had a friend suggest it so the purple pipes don't spoil the looks of the bike.. God did he know of the other problems than the purpleing...
When I look at the pipes, they go down under the engine, mate with the 2nd pipe behind the engine and come out from the side of the seat. If I did want to wrap them, would it be a DIY project or am I better of taking it to a shop to do it?
