has anyone wrapped the cross pipe on a touring bike to help cut down on the oil temp?

No, and I'm not sure it would reduce it. Isn't the inside of the motor (where oil spends most of its life) hotter than exhaust?

May want to go over to New to the Community and post a bio. Nice show of respect.

Well CHIEF, just riding around town with little airflow, the cross pipe gets pretty hot as it does run within a 1/2" of the oil pan. Just wondering if anyone has wrapped that pipe and noticed andy diff.

Hope you find your answer. Certainly wont hurt anything. Worth a try.
