Default Heat and TRUE DUALS????

Do true duals help a lot with the heat issue on 2007 2008 Touring bikes since they eliminate the crossover pipe going under the seat?

I have the bub7 td with crossover, but it is in a better place. A good tune helps too.

I put True Duals and use Amsoil on my 2008 ultra and it worked for me

it makes a huge difference, although you will still get some heat on your left upper leg where that pipes comes out of the engine, but its not under the seat!

I have Bub 7 true duals, no crossover, PCIII, K&amp\\;N af, RJs Original heat shields, and Mobil 1 synthetic oil. My bike rides very cool, even down here in the Florida heat. I still think I am gonna put on an oil cooler though.

Definitely cooler but I think it's a combination of the TDs and the SERT tuning
