Exhaust Heat!
#1
![Default](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Riding in 100f outside temp, the exhaust heat off of the Cat Conv area is just too much.
2023 Flhtp. No mods.
Constantly moving my foot around and off the board.
What should I do? It is affecting my enjoyment of this bike.
I have some ideas but I would like to hear what others have done.
Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks NorthWestern . De catting is definitely one of my choices but I will likely not if it requires getting a tune. My preferred method in this would be removing muffler and drilling with a large diameter bit removing as much cat material as possible. Will I need a tune?
I am also considering exhaust heat wrapping the Cat area. Any experiences with this approach anyone?

If so you can buy or make your own spacers to move the boards out 1” on each side.
My Road King had a gap in the original heat shield right where your right foot goes. That can be uncomfortable.
My boards are moved outward and my heat shield now has no gap.

Yes, I know where it is. It is the rear my leg that is getting cooked. So I have to move my foot around on the board because it is attached to the rear of my leg [lol]. And the excessive heat is only on that [the right] side.
You're not feelin' it?

Different riding boots. I've never had an issue with too much heat off of the pipes. I usually wear Wolverine , but sometimes wear Harley lace up boots. I also always wear jeans.
Oh, and I just recently decatted my head pipe, for the sound, and didn't notice a change in the heat.
