canverse burnt by exhaust header

[vtec power]

Most of the time i cover my bike wif canvas. It had been doing fine until recently i changed to after-market full system exhaust. Nw my canvas always get burnt by my exhaust header. It leave a mark on the header. I find it ugly.

 

Is there aniwae it can be solved?

 

Is there ani high heat resistant canvas?

Yup happen to me also. You can get the OKADO Cover from LAB. Not cheap but it will prevent that from happening.

Nolah his headers. Happen to my dad's revo also. Stainless steel when hot,will melt almost any plastics. My advice,dont canvas you bike immeidietly after riding.

hahah I thought its Converse (shoe maker). Instead its CANVAS. hahahha.

 

Anyway, Its advisable not to cover the bike when hot. I am using Oxford Canvas. It comes with the following warning:

 

"IMPORTANT: do not allow this cover to come into contact with hot exhausts, engine parts or sharp objects."

 

So my practice is to allow the engine to cool at least 30 minutes. Please do take consideration of the canvas size. TOO BIG, and it will definitely hit your headers. Not to mention all the 'animals' living under that canvas. Get something that is just nice.It should not touch the floor.

my canvas does not touches the header with i cover it..it just flow down with the support of the handle bar.

even i used a padlock to lock the 2 rings on the canvas it still does not touches it..it will just touch my crashbars and my locking point it in between my front wheel and my belly pan.

can't visualise how it contact with the header.

Mi is oso the way as u describe but it jz happened to be burnt. Wif the stock header it's alrite. But after changing to aftermarket header it will get burnt.

 

I tink is bcos the wind blow & sometime the canvas will then come into contact wif the header liao.

hmm..that's logic.guess the solution is to get a better cover..

[aixin]

I bought mine at LAB, ever cover immediately after riding, never have any marking as mentioned. However, it is better that the endcan is not being covered after riding, but i think it should be ok. The reason for not covering endcan so that it is not smoky or smellie inside...

care to elaborate ????

cover or not it will be smokey or smelly what ...

[aixin]

Endcan when hot is not totally odourless, there sure to be exhaust smell, and it can't totally escape due to motorbike being covered......but I think it's not so much of a concern.

yup..normally for people who's habit is to cover their bike straight after they parked,they will cover up everything..

anyway for surface carpark,if it's windy then the bike will be airy even under cover..
