	hello matey welcome, from memory (I've not ridden for a while now) I think its low to mid 80's that mine runs at (celsius). What did the ceramic coating cost and who did you use? and another question, why wrap them as well, does the ceramic not cut down the radiant heat enough? Post a pic of the bike up when you can.

	hi thanks for the reply i used the heat wrap as well just for the belt and braces approach and i thought while i had the headers off i might as well . The coating was done by a firm called camcote near warrington but i dont know how much as we use them at work and they did it as a favour but when it is running you can put your hand on the rear header its hot but doesnt burn you so it is working . the temp usually runs at 74/75c and when in traffic goes to around 84 . My theory is the more heat you can keep in the header the better chance the incoming air has of cooling the system without a scorching hot header behind the rad radiating heat around the engine.
