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...

Another vote for RJ's have them on my 06 and they work so well we put them on our work bikes, which says a lot when you are riding it for a living.

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

air cooled will be gone soon. and will be missed, when we all have water in our oil. But I will not buy a water buffalo. true duals did help mine.

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
