Default my boots are melting !!!!

Apparently i need spacers on my footboards, my right side pipe has a nice black mark from riding all day yesterday!!

it is right in between where the 2 heat sheilds are on the bend right by the back of the footboard.

First how the heck do you get it off?? do i have toget it hot again to get it off or will goo gone work.

Secondly how do i keep from doing that while I ride?

I try to keep my feet on the highway pegs as much as possible, but in town that isnt very safe...

anyone else experince this kind of problem??!!??!?!?!?!?!?!

I put one of the Kuryakyn heel guards on my right floorboard....just kind of a chrome rod that keeps your heel from riding up against the pipe.....works good for me.

I put one of the Kuryakyn heel guards on my right floorboard....just kind of a chrome rod that keeps your heel from riding up against the pipe.....works good for me.

I did the floorboards spacers and the heel guard. works like a dream. I went with the turn down guard instead of the one that wraps around the heel. still gives me lots of room on the board for my feet.

Mine is the straight rod with a little nub on the end...that way I can still move my foot further back on the floorboard if I want a slightly different position....works great for me.
