      I thought about it but I'd still have to cut back the fairing to get enough clearance for the wrap.

      Good idea but that raises the price significantly and I'm not sure that would be enough insulation to prevent melting the fairing unless I cut it back anyway. It's plastic, after all. Melting point is pretty low compared to the temp of the exhaust gasses.

      Screw it. My OEM pipes turned out not to have anything wrong with them that sandblasting and painting (I'll look at powder coating next winter.) won't fix. It's not like I was planning to get a huge performance boost from a Bandit exhaust anyway (and do you really need it? It's an 1100.) so the only real sacrifice is that I'll have to watch the kids getting on and off the bike so they don't burn themselves.
