Good to know, will have to give it a look/try.

Hot much heat

Here is a question for be those of you that ride a 18/19 lowrider with stock header pipes. How much heat do you notice on your right thigh when riding and idling at a light? For some reason I am noticing more heat on my right thigh here lately. A couple weeks ago I rode in 95 + heat and didn't notice much heat at all. Today I rode in 78 degrees and was feeling quite a bit of heat on my right thigh. Don't have any idea what may have changed. Any ideas?

I noticed heat is concentrated in that area, mostly radiating from the rear exhaust pipe on a lot of Harleys.
I notice less heat now with that rear exhaust pipe moved further away from that area on my bike.
I think heat just gets trapped there, especially during city riding.
