Pffffffft, of course you have lots of time AT the Gap to finish whatever needs doing. :roll: It's not as though you spend hours riding every day, you just don't have the butt for it, especially being an ole man. :mrgreen:

The instructions say you can cure it with exhaust heat 3 or 4 short heat cycles. They say not to run it for too long the 1st couple times. I am gonna run it for 5 minutes and then 10 or 15 and let it cool off, then ride it up and down the road and see how it does.

I got my high temp set with a heat gun, gut up to 350 degrees as I went down the pipe.

If that's on the side-stand with no-one on the bike, I can't see a problem......even wheelies will be O.K!
