Arrow A Stupid Problem to Have with my Thunderheader Exhaust

Anyone else had this problem? I guess the way I've been positioning my feet doesn't work with having a TH exhaust.

Build a small heatshield for the area where your feet/boot may contact the pipe.

I did that using the oem heatshields.

You might want to think about Boot Doctors to keep your foot from sliding over so far

I have used a set of those BootDr floorboards.





I wasn't all that impressed. They are a huge chunk of metal. I never could get comfortable on them. That's what led me to iso pegs w/stirrups.

I think the heel rests are the ticket. I've read that many ppl think they are one of te best comfort mods they've done.
