Excessive heat?
I have an 09 Heritage I just bought, this is my first BT bike so I'm not sure if I have a problem or it is just the nature of the bike. I'm also still within my breakin period.
When I'm riding I can feel heat on the back of my right thigh and when I sitting at a traffic light or just stopped it can get really hot.
Yes I did do a search but it did not answer my question.
Thanks
Bill

Spend all the money you want but don't expect dramatic cooling results from anything you do to your bike. Get used to the heat.

+1 on the XiED (unless you plan on doing more performance upgrades besides pipes and filter)
+1 on the oil cooler
but as soon as you get past your break in go with a full syn and this will help some. Over all they still run hot but this will help.
