It is an internal combustion engine.
Exhaust pipes get extremely hot, no matter what you do with tuning, etc.

Are you wearing protective clothing, boots, etc. to minimize getting burned.

Wear jeans and don't lean on the pipe. Never rode a bike that didn't have really hot pipes.

He’s burning his leg on the pipe, will your crotch cooler address that?

750 Street the exhaust does not come near your leg. Foot yes. You get some radiant heat from the CAT

We currently have them on some bikes at Boswell's in Nashville. They are used in their riding school on the 500 and 750 models..

My thigh gets quite hot in stop and go traffic. Mostly due to the proximity of the rear cylinder. A good pair of leather chaps fixed the problem for me.
