Heatshield Products’ HP Thermal Sleeving: Protect Your Lines for Better Performance
When you’re getting revved up on the racetrack and ready to jump ahead of the crowd, there’s nothing worse than being stopped by vapor lock. Our fuel line insulation kit prevents this problem by protecting your bike’s lines from radiant heat.
Made from a flexible fiberglass weave that expands and contracts over fittings and terminals, our HP moto thermal sleeve can dissipate temperatures up to 593°C continuous and 1093°C intermittent while adding that classic aesthetic and hiding unsightly wires. With a 60% reduction in radiant heat, your wires are no longer at risk of melting or suffering irreversible heat damage from being too close to the motor or exhaust pipe.
Installing Your Heatshield Products HP Thermal Sleeving
You’ve bought your HP thermal sleeve kit—how do you install it? Wearing safety glasses, gloves, and an industrial dust mast, bunch or shrink the tubing over each component and secure the ends with our Thermal-Tie, hose clamps, exhaust wrap ties, or tie wire. For an OEM look you can do yourself, you can also seal the ends of the thermal sleeve with our Heatshield heat shrink tubing (thanks to Bryan Fuller of Fuller Hot Rods for this pro tip!)
