Is there anything I can add to possibly keep the heat off my wifes leg (especially her calf area) thats seems to be comming off the motor or pipes??
I was under the impression that the exhaust on the '09's being re-routed would have taken care of this heat issue for the passenger and rider from the exhaust headers being close to the thighs and feet. I can take it then that it doesn't?
Heck, this was one of the reasons I was envious of the '09s...
Look at the sponsored link on the right http://www.rjsoriginals.com/. They are not cheap but they work and you get what you pay for. Also do a stage 1 and go with synthetic oil after your break in is over on your engine. I have not gone this way but I have read going to true dual mufflers helps with heat too. Sad to say but I thik our air cooled engine days are numbered.
Be a sad day when these engines are history.
I have a SE/AC, Rinehart true duals, SERT and run syn in all 3 holes===
SIGNIFICANT HEAT REDUCTION
I'd like to get RJS Originals but just cannot afford them right now, tempted to get the HD ones but don't really like the looks. It's too bad there is such a price difference
