So I got myself a black coloured wrap (fibre glass) for my FT. Decided to do it myself....for a first timer... I believe that I did a decent job, could have been better.
So to start i removed the top shield from the exhaust from the rear cylinder. From that point on I realised that it would be difficult to wrap the whole of the rear exhaust as the battery and the air box was in the way and I did not want to remove that in order to fit it, so i started the wrap just distal to the sensor on the rear exhaust. I was able to do the front exhaust easily, all i had to do was remove the 4 springs.
I did wet the wrap in cold water.
So finished the wrapping and stood back to enjoy the work... and thats when it started. The intense ITCHING, i had forgotten to wear any kind of protective gear (i.e disposable gloves) and the itching would not go even after washing with soap, swarfega, and applying moisturiser.
