Heat ..Carbon Fiber vs. Titanium pipes

[koko64]

+2 on the slip-ons, and use the exhaust wrap insulation on the rear pipe as it comes out of the head. Try to stop that radiant heat getting on you and the frame.
Drag racers have for a long time used the insulating exhaust wrap to keep the heat in the pipe for performance reasons.

or, if you don't like the look of the wrap, get 'em ceramic coated. (that's what i did)

Ceramic coated is better anyway...pipe wrap (which I think looks cool) will lead to header corrosion.

and no chance of fire due to oil soaked into the wraps

Sending the bike in yu get the coating done!  I was thinking about doing that anyway and now that I heard this news...its a done deal!  Getting the Mivv CF too since they will go with the black coating.

Thanks all!!!

 . Gotta admit, have never even considered that as an issue.

That header pipe goes right under the sump...

I had the pipes ceramic coated on my 696   ( link for anybody interested >>  http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=25025.msg437810#msg437810 )   and I recall a much decreased arse heating situation.......    Soooo... I have been contemplating having just the rear header ceramic coated on my M1100.... but wonder how silly that would look.  Or maybe to coat the whole thing...  Or not..

G'day Unge

Or rap just one foot of the rear header, bike stays on the road.
(Minor threadjack). I've been texting/messaging you by the way, to see if you have been ok re: the floods.
