Chris Ive never seen gold tape in the HVAC industry... its probably just a sales gimmik from the company, cause everyone knows gold is better than silver... but i could be wrong, i havent seen everything offered in the industry... I have only been certified for the last 7 years... But I seriously doubt the color is gonna change the effectiveness, unless its thicker or something. But then thicker can hold heat in longer, so more is not always better as I said earlier.

The Reflect-a Gold heat transfer tape made by DEI is DEF better than your HVAC tape...
Its rated at 850 degrees F and can handle intermittent spikes of 2000 Degrees F.

OK I finally got to ride the bike last night, and I dont know if it was the DCP Rad cage and secondary fan or this mod... but my bike pulls twice as hard as it ever has! I did not wire my fans to be on all the time, I just wired them together and put a bigger fuse to accomodate the new amperage load, and it kicks on about 212 and is on for about 5-10 seconds and the bike temp drops to 200 instantly...

Try it and let me know if it helps with idle pull cause mine has NEVER pulled this hard!

You would probably need about 5-10 rolls of this... it takes a lot more tape than you would think...
