2017 Road glide special.
Back of my right thigh getting too hot.
What can I do about it? Doesn't seem like it should be that way.

 

..trolling much?
fry an egg on it. or cut it off. Buy a Harley and trade in your yami.

 

Captain Itch crotch cooler. I've been using mine for years. I just put it back on for the summer. (You can see it in my profile picture.)

I've said it in the past and I will continue to say, you should look into getting a crotch cooler made by Captain Itch, a sponsor here on the forum. It is by far the biggest bang for the buck item that I have ever put on any of my bikes! I installed one on my last ride (09 Road King) and I just came out of the garage from just installing one on my new 17 Heritage. I wouldn't consider owning another big twin without one!!

Pictures will follow over the next few days as it is presently raining and I don't want to baptize the bike as of yet!.

 

You probably would be better off posting in the M8 forum.

 

How many miles on the bike? If low miles, still very tight and will give off some heat as a result...get a few thousand miles on it and heat should be less...

 

ive seen so many posts on this....ive never had this issue ...and do not understand it.....maybe everyone is riding to slow? ; )

 

No riding to slow here in FL! - BUT - The lights will get ya! Huge intersections - long waits between greens - heaven forbid if you have to wait for a second green or worse! My EITMS has been working here and there since I brought the bike home a little over 2 weeks ago and summer isn't even here yet!

 

my girlfriend m8 Ultra is pretty hot too. Hopefully it will cool down some after few thousand miles.

 

Is this a recent development or always been?

If recent, I would think about a possible exhaust leak. Check headpipe torque, maybe need to replace the gaskets if that is the problem.

If you've made other changes to intake or exhaust then I would suspect a lean condition and a tune may be in order.
