Inside bike guy joke ( I was being sarcastic regarding the need to trap and hold moisture- everyone knows wrapping pipes on a bike serves absolutely zero function other than promoting rust .... but the kids think it looks cool and well, it is a sheeple bike so it has to be there. )I thought one normally paints the headers before wrapping them to help prevent rusting? This from someone who's never done it...
at least hit it with red scotchbrite and with silicone before wrapping.
