Are you talking about wrapping the header? If so, I'd advise against it, wrapping mine has proper fucked it.
The wrap soaks up water thrown up by the front wheel and on smaller capacity bikes doesn't get hot enough to dry out so just sits there rotting the header at an accelerated rate due to the warmth.
Ymmv being that yours is a single, mines a twin, but I now have a completely fucked front header with raggedy bits of wrap stuck in amongst rust.
