Sorry I forgot to take photos of the header pipe when it was cut open, I cut a window 1/2" left of the left weld and 1/2" of the right weld, and the bottom cut was 180 degrees of the top cut.
I applied several coats of DEI Hi-Temp Silicone Coating to the header pipe, then I wrapped it with 15' of DEI Black 1" Exhaust Wrap, which I had soaked in water before applying. Drove the bike for about 1/2 hour to dry the wrap and then applied 3 coats of the DEI Hi-Temp Silicone Coating to the wrap.

Here it is after using hose clamps to hold screws to which I screwed on stand-offs to which I attached the factory heat shield.
