First Harley? They are air cooled, and if sitting still or traversing slow moving traffic the rider and passenger will feel it.

Also "they all do that"

If you have the stock exhaust then the right side of the bike has the catalytic converter installed right under your right foot. Plus sitting still or moving very slow will heat you up a bit. Also, make sure you have the EITMS activated which may help a little. Best to plan rides which avoid stop & go traffic conditions if at all possible.

My old friend rides a 103 SG Trike and wears farmer bib coveralls in the summer with a bottle of frozen water in each pocket...now THAT's crotch cooling!

I laughed at him once and told him he looked like he pissed himself, but he reminded me that it all kept the twins cool which was more important.
