got a new exhaust
SEE PIC,

it is exhausting on right bag ,raised bag up as high as i could, it is now just passing under it and hitting it

worried about leather---- it a bad g buffalo heavy bag

will leather be ok?? thoughts on it??

 

IMO exhaust pointing up towards anything is a bad idea, but that's just me. I would think bags are made to take heat being most of them are close to any exhaust system. But I haven't seen any exhaust pointing directly at a bag either. Hopefully someone else can answer your question for you if they have a similar setup.

 

I think you will be fine. The end of the muffler looks like its 8-10 inches away from the bags.

 

don't worry, it's like 18" from the bag, I don't even think the bag will get warm.

 

its about 16-19 inches and only hitting bottom corner of bag behind shock eye

dose get warm, strap bounces with throttle

 

go for a ride and stop to see how hot the bag is....

 

thinking air flow while moving will take care of most of the problem

going for a ride about a month away hopefully -- 5ft snow banks ice all over ground

 

I've had them a whole lost closer than that with no issues. 3-4".

 

I wouldn't put my beer.... or butter in there though!
