Default Boot Heel Melting

I notice that I am melting the heel of my boot on the right exhaust. I see Kuryakyn has a couple of Heel Guards listed as solving this problem.

Has anyone installed these? I would be interested to know how you like them.

Yes, I just installed these. After burning rubber a few times on my new Ultra. Have only ridden about 50 miles so far. They will take some getting used to. I installed the turn Down style. So you can still move your foot up and back. It seems like the footboards are alot But smaller. But they will save my Chrome!!!

Had a similar product known as "Boot Doctor". Worked great.

I didn't get mine from the web site, bought mine through e-bay from denniskirk's scratch and dent sale. Pipes were only $232.50 then $45.00 for shipping. Total was only $277.50 to the door. I can live with a little scratch and a dent that I straightened out.

Ram, that is mighty fine looking King, I really like what you have done with it. My wife really really likes it, and the first thing she commented on was the pipes. I have been considering change pipes, might do that this winter.
