I see a lot of bikes with 2 to 1's on them. The ones that have the rear cylinder pipe coming forward of the trans then curving back, do they create any extra heat on your leg anywhere that wasn't there with the stock crossover header? (I already know duals get rid of the right leg heat)

 

I have never felt any but I always wear boots that are above my calf muscle.

 

More heat than true duals....that's for sure!

 

Although I have shields I believe the heat to be no different from the stock and certainly not greater than true duals unless you discount the left side heat from a true dual setup.

I've riden over 22,000 miles with my 2:1 and in ambient temperature of 116. Not a problem in stopped traffic but I must say that without the "nomorefriedthighs" I may be telling another story.

My B.... says there is no heat issue on her feet or legs.

 

I don't think there's any difference ~ certainly no more than stock head pipe (ESPICALLY on the 07's).

Never had true duals, they just don't "look right" to me. [8D]

 

NONE! The first thing I noticed was reduction in heat when I put my 2-1 on.

Thanks guys, I was thinking it might be the same amount of heat as a stock setup but, the intense spot might have just moved from the fried thigh to maybe the "crispy calf".

With my Fatcats, I feel some heat on the right side, but much less than with the stock headpipes...........no heat on the left

I don't think it's any different then a set of Duals on on one side. No different then the V&H longshots I had on my Softail.

 

You've obviously never run a 2-1 because this is not true at all.

A good 2-1 will outperform ANY true dual system by a substantial margin & eliminates the heat issue of the stock system also.

My Supertrapp Supermeg runs every bit as cool as a true dual system(cooler on the left side)
