There is one way to find out.  Unwrap part of it if you can while the pipes are on the bike.  You can then re-wrap it.  It will suck if you have to take the pipes off just to check.  At that point you might as well send it off to Jet-Hot.  If the bike isn't garaged then my ideas about keeping the header wrap dry won't work.

I may be wrong or something, but isn't corrosion a moot point with these bikes, because I think the pipes are stainless. Or I may just be full of shit.

I wrapped the pipes on my ole bobber.  I did it because the pipes were very close to my leg and got super hot.  It brought the heat down considerably.  It also gave the bike an old skool look.

Stainless does not mean it won't rust.

it was garaged  [thumbsup]

problem is that here we don't have anyone that coates the exhaust pipes, just rims and framework  :-\
but I'll ask some more

mine are made afterward, so I don't even know what material they are made from
Who made me to try it, who made me to love it so much!?

for the most part, people send them out to jet hot or performance coatings

How much do they charge and is it easy to take the parts off with everyday tools?

Just over $100 at Performance Coatings. Yes, it's pretty easy.
