I have a 2012 Street Glide, Arlen Ness big sucker, aftermarket headers, and CFR slipons. My rear exhaust at the engine is way too hot, even on short rides. Any help would be appreciated

 

Too hot for what?

The harley heat deflectors have done a good job of making it bearable for my wife.

 

did you let the cat out..

 

Are you still running the stock tune?

 

Some things you can do to improve ride comfort:

1) Remove the factory catalytic converter.
2) Add heat shields to the bike under the front of the seat if it doesn't already have them.
3) Tune the ECM using something like an FP3, Powervision or Thundermax tuner. This will improve air / fuel ratio and lower engine temperatures.
4) install your choice of cooling / heat extracting fan on the bike. There is one that sucks heat from behind the engine and blows it under the bike.
5) install floorboard spacers to allow air space between hot surfaces and flesh.

 

Too hot for my right leg.

 

Too hot for my right leg.
I have fullsac performance ceramic coated head pipes, Arlen Ness, big sucker air cleaner, stage one download, and Cfr slip on exhaust pipes.No Catalytic.

 

Mine is hot as well. i rode in my shorts yesterday and i felft it way more than when i wear pants... guess what, i'm wearing pants next time.

 

Stage one download does nothing. You need to add fuel. DK Customs sell VIED'S and they do add some fuel, cheap and easy .

 

Titanium wrap might help. Did it on my Heritage and sure noticed the difference.
