I wish I had more money.
I think the heat tape would look alright on the bike. It is flat black bike isn't it. Kinda hot roddy. I think you should go with the wrap/

Yeah I roasted a pair of my pants riding to Houma this past weekend (if you have me on facebook you saw he photo). It is pretty much going to happen! mine catches when I either prop my ankle up on the pegs or tight turns where i am scraping my foot peg.

I was thinking the same thing about the bandana... How do I get that stuff off my pipes from the jeans melting on it ?
There's probably a thread on this but I've heard of hot pipes and Ez-Off oven cleaner...although that was in reference to melted shoe on pipes.

Yah I'm short (5"6) so I can't really position my legs to many different ways...
That could be an interesting poll...height of rider, style of pipes, and amount of issue with burning.

I'm tall (for a woman) and the couple times that I've been burnt were when I was just playing around in shorts.

I bought a pair of heavy Moto-Cross socks that go the knee to wear under my jeans. Won't stop the burned jeans but slows the heat down going to the skin at the stoplights.
 
As one of the riders in Rays post sais, oh also for you too Ray, go here

Fire resistant Jeans, gotta love it

Check your pipe circumfrance and look em up on line. Custom Chrome, Kurakian e.t.c. all have a variety available. Its not the complete solution but it certainly will help. Also, as previously posted in Ray's thread, wrap the pipes then put heat shields on them. The heat shields attach with hidden hose clamps

Try this place for wrap, someone here i.e. Ray may have a better source,
Motorcycle drag bike and racing go cart exhaust wrap

Try here for heat shields
Tips, Heatshields, Gaskets for Motorcycles
as you will note about half wau down they have kits that are custom made for Martin Brothers pipes maybe you can find out the manufacturer of your pipes and contact them. They may have a set they can get to you.

After all the ribbing hopefully this helps.
