Brian --- Just picked mine up in June. Had Rinehart True Duals put on. (Also Stage 1 & make sure you have the Pro Super Tuner, not the Street Performance tuner.) Heat was terrible. Rineharts? I don't know, but I got rid of them. Put on Vance & Hines Power Duals, Rush Big Louie slip-ons, and went to a dyno where they know what they're doing. (It was mostly tuning) I'm likin' my bike again. No more heat than what I think should be normal. People can say what they want. This is what I did & no more excessive heat.

Woops, forgot to mention the high flow AC and exhaust. Those were actually done first. The AFR is adjusted through my Thundermax.
