OK. So how do those of us who are ... vertically challenged (I'm 5'-7", 30 in inseam) avoid burning the back of their left thigh on the rear pipe? Even here (Albuquerque, NM) in the dead of winter, I am occasionally reminded that there is one heckuva hot pipe down ther when I feel it impinging on my skin. More significantly, I am hoping for an idea on how to avoid melting a hole in my brand spanking new H-D rain suit the first time I have to use it. This same pipe is what caused the demise of my (admittedly old) original rain gear.

Anybody got any great suggestions? Thanks all, this is one great place to exchange ideas.

 

reach seat or lower seat, raise floorboards, lower bike, go with 2 into 1's, asbestos underwear, boots with heel extensions

 

I also ride an Ultra Classic. I'm 5'6" with a 30" inseam, so here's my advice.... Don't touch HOT pipes!

 

Get to know the hot spots on your scooter.

 

GO TO coolthighs.com. I use these and they work

 

Oh yeah...that reminds me eglidegoodies.com sells a product designed to keep the heat off of you. Hope you find what you need.

 

I know what you mean, keep it moving or shut it off!! You might take a look at these, I think I might give them a try before summer gets here. Got to get prepared!!

 

Opps!! [] Forgot to tell you where, here it is. www.rjsoriginals.com

 

those things look rediculous.will they hold heat against the head?

 

Ya, what Joe says, might as well throw a friggan blanket over the motor and have it over with lol
