Your feeling the heat from the red hot exhaust pipes. Have you ever looked at them in the dark after a ride? Glowing red hot! My solution was exhaust wrap. About $50 for 25 feet (varies) Takes the whole roll to do both pipes but it will stop your leg from catching fire. I put the chrome covers back on the pipes to hide it, but I have seen some folks go with the wrap look. The other option is to change your pipes and get a re-mapping to a more rich mixture which will also cool things down.

There is tons of info on that subject,but i can tell you I don't feel it at all anymore,my pipes are further away from my leg now,and my air cleaner cover is just a small thing now. That inflated air cleaner cover is like a radiator collecting heat,look down,do you see how close it is to your leg? You don't feel it while riding though right? Keep out of traffic! lol
