As mentioned before. Start the wrap from the rear to prevent the edges from fraying. Also soak the wrap prior to applying. After it dries the is a clear coat for header wrap that hardens and protects the wrap. Keeping the heat in should improve performance a tad bit.
Great job man. I find it easier to soak the fiber wrap in water before hand; when it evaporates it causes the wrap it shrink up a little tighter on the header.
@@WeekendAdventureRides Yes sir, also when I do mine I wrap starting from the exhaust and work my way towards the two exhaust ports; when you see the wrap pattern you'll see the aerodynamics I'm talking about. Great video and I love the clean edits though!👏👌
brother this is amazing work just like your other xr250 vids but I feel like I have to say it ...please protect yourself from some of these particles and chemicals. They aren‘t good for your health ole top
does que fiber glass tape has to be wetted or dip in water before applying it to wrap the exhaust ?. i have heard that it help to tighten the tape. it will dry and maybe help to cure when the tape its heated.
Anyone have an header pipe for an 85 xr250r for sale? All ones ive found r beat to shit, and the one that is on the bike looks like a 4 yr old welded 5 diff pieces of pipe together.
@@WeekendAdventureRides yeah ive found a few on ebay that'll work, gna pull the trigger on one here soon. I looked around for aftermarket, no luck.. not on that year anyhow. Thank u for the reply amigo 👍

That's a great idea. It also cuts down on fiberglass dust

Great job on the exhaust pipe, can’t wait to see the bike when it’s done!
Awesome series! Looking forward to seeing this bike completed!
I did all the Gordon Mods on My 99 XR 250 and Lexx Exhaust, It was reliable but never had much more than 20 HP.
I'd like to start riding on an XR,I'll def save your videos for future use 👌
Great video! Exhaust pipes look great!

Finally someone mentioned it 💪👍
That’s looks great man!
remember to wrap the opposite way, all of the flaps will catch wind and make it floppy quick.

Yes it helps to wet the fiberglass before you wrap it, also cuts down on fiberglass particles.
I soak my wrap in water before wrapping it makes it easier to use.
Did you get the motor back together yet?
Yes it's finished
What kind of metal prep did you use
Por-15. Its a metal etch and rust neutralizer

Ebay, your best bet. I don't think there's anything in the aftermarket
