I own a 98 Wideglide and a 03 Heritage classic at this time and my leg is always against the air cleaner. Forward controls on the Wideglide and floorboards plus highway pegs on the Heritage classic. Don't even notice it. Seems like one leg or another has always been against something every since I started riding as a kid. Usually doesn't take long to get it off the really hot crap. Glad the air cleaner is cool.

I am 5'9" with a '10 Wide Glide and the only real problem is it can be a bit awkward to get to the brake pedal twisting the foot in to get to it. It is not a problem when riding. I have thought very seriously about replacing the air cleaner but it isn't a huge priority.

Not a big deal. You'll learn to live with it or you'll change it out for a less obtrusive low profile A/C. Look at part# 28721-10 or 28722-10. Flows really well with the right element (filter) installed.

I'm 5'8" and ride an '11 FXDWG. My leg hits the A/C often, but I've adapted to it the same as I adapted to the different handlebars (used to ride a '99 FXD).
Braking isn't a problem for me .... but I move my feet around all the time anyway.
