Re: max wedge exhaust vs headers

[Bob Fortson <bobt1885@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am watching this thread very closely...I have some
of the same worries. I have contemplated using the
adhesive backed heat shield material that we used to
use on our moto cross race bikes to keep the plastic
from melting...it will look like hell probably but a
wrap around the bottom and side of the master cyl. and
the first few inches of the brake line would do
marvelous things for the temp problems I think...I
also worry about the power steering hoseline being
melted or something...opinions ?
