What's it called?

    Having removed all the accessories from the FJR earlier in the year to
    sell it I'm about to put them all back on as we' decided to keep it to
    use as a Winter hack. This includes several electrical items -
    Fuzeblock, heated clothing connectors, intercom, GPS, etc.

    I normally run the wires then hold them together and protect them by
    winding insulating tape round them which is a PITA to do, looks ugly
    and removes some of the flexibility.

    Proper looms have a flexible cover over the wires which, I assume,
    must be available to buy. My Google Mojo has deserted me today, what's
    that covering called?

    Thanks.

    The "proper" stuff is made of fabric but I normally use the polythene
    spiral stuff commonly referred to as "spirothene"

  6. Spiral wrapping, or Spirap as one of the brand names. Available in
    differing sizes, by the length or by the roll. There are other loom
    tapes available, of course.
