Steams well in that last photo! Nice job & you have at least, wrapped the correct direction. It's easy to do it front to back leaving the joins facing into the wind..

Hadn't realised it was steam, very cool
Impressed that you took them off to wrap them

the only thing i did not dismantle on my m3w, is the engine/compensator/gearbox. i do not have the knowledge for it. that's left for the dealer`s mechanic. but i simply do not have the money to get every little thing fixed at the shop and pay for it!!! and as a trained metal worker (blacksmith and steel construction) and with a lot of interest, i do it my self. mostly.

...and i still have a flat belly, so i fit underneath the 3wheeler....lol

Caution! I wrapped the first section of my exhaust pipes on my 2014 M3W. it was a bit of a game to get it symmetrical but with 2 inch width tape and allowing approximately a 1 inch overlap each turn a a double turn start and finish to loose the end then 5 metres a side did the job. A 10 metre length will do the trick. Go for a good UK supplier. The stainless retaining clips are a bit of a "B" to get tight. They recommend a pair of pliers and a screw driver. Not easy! I improvised by modifying an Allan Key with a slit at the end and wound the tail of the stainless clip rather like an old fashioned Sardine Tin. It worked a treat!
Here comes the caution! I was not too pleased with the dirty bandaged look and decided to paint the wrap with heat resistant paint (which quoted 1000 degrees C!) Don't do it! A 50 mile journey resulted in my neat wrapping job being cooked to a crisp. I now have 8 stainless steel clips fixed to the pipes and a pile of charred dust!. I hindsight I am not sure that I would repeat the exercise without the paint. Suddenly, blued pipes do not look so bad!!

I just posted up a new thread of my pipe wrap as well as cat and baffle delete.

I went with 1 inch wide wrap installed for me by a friend / former custom bike builder. It's secured with stainless steel welding rods for an Old-School look.

I love it and it just keeps looking better and better as it patinas.

It is very smart.
