Default A little experiment

I own a H1 and like most of you I would like the exhaust side of the bike to be cooler on the leg. So for heck of it I decided to by some header wrap to bring the temp near my leg down. This should give me 2 benefits. Cooler leg and faster flowing exhaust gas. Although because the exhaust gas is moving faster I may have to change jets. I will be on vacation for the next week (unfortunately not a vacation involving the wheeler). When I get back I will do some runs and let you all know how it works.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Let us know how it goes. Also, you should order the side panals from the 2007's. THey will cut the heat down too! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Alright. I am back from vacation. Gave the new set up a little test. I can not say that it was as succesful as I would have hoped for. I did find that I needed to drop 3 Jet sizes, due to the exhaust gases moving faster and creating a bigger vacuum. I can also say that it quited the ride down a little bit.
Just in case anyone cares. The vacation was at a camp for children with cancer (volunteered), have to say it was one of the best things I have had the chance to experience.
