CBR1000RR-R here, mine not melting but the fairing around the header (left & right side) does get hot. Full stock system. Someone else in the RR-R section reported a melting fairing. I will add some heat reflecting material.

looks good! try adding some more before and after that section as well. Hot air from header pipes move around and covers a lot of surface area. I'd cover end-tank of oil-cooler as well.

Still contemplating wrapping these headers or getting a full titanium header/exhaust system and applying on that. Doesn't look like a fun job wrapping the headers while mounted. I prefer wrapping over covering the oil cooler.
BTW, look at the aluminum side from the oil cooler. Not exactly sure what it was in a previous life, but it resembles an old kitchen oven plate before being pressed into my oil cooler
