Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 79235, member: 103"] Found some similar sentiment from a leader in the industry.... Jet Hot... Spot on. I built a tiny little header for an ATV I made one time that was a 630cc two cylinder powered side-by-side. I ran the header for at least a year or so without any issue whatsoever. At night it would glow bright red as the little engine tore through mud holes and muddy pastures, yet it never showed even the slightest signs of fatigue, as I said, for a year or more. When my wife rode with me she complained about the heat on longer rides, so the day before a ride one weekend I wrapped the entire system with good, quality wrap. Did an excellent job and it was nice and cleanly done. Roughly 2 hours into the ride, on a header that had shown perfect resilience for hundreds of rides previously..... the header had overheated to such an extent that it mechanically failed. The wrap was literally the only thing still holding it together... It cracked in multiple places and broke clean in two at another. A header that was perfectly fine for tons of rides was 100% destroyed in a matter of hours after the wrap started trapping the heat in, overheating the part. It's not rocket science. Take one guy and put him in 100 degree heat with shorts and a T-shirt on and then take another wearing a black Fur coat and ski-bibs. Work each of them hard. Which one has a stroke first, lol.
