Has anyone had an issue with heat on the saddlebags after installing these.

The catalytic converters are right there in front of your bag. Until you remove those cats, you're gonna get a lot of heat on that side of the bike.

thanks for the info

Still unsure if I will be able to run just the slip ons for now and not have heat issues on the bgs.

I haven't had any heat issues with my bags, they certainly don't seem any hotter than the stock mufflers from what I can tell. Biggest issue I've had since putting on the RCX 4.5's is the big $hit eating grin I get every time I ride (even more so as they're breaking in)

I have had mine for two years now. They do not effect the saddle bags and sound great.

I have a set that I'd be willing to part with. I used them for 3-4 months before converting to a gloss black CVO exhaust.
