My wife has started riding with me recently and she seems to be getting heat rash above the boot. The funny part is that the rash is not at the boot top, but above the boot.

Anyone else had a problem like this? If so, what did you do to prevent the heat rash?

 

You can try some heat reflectors that go by the passenger seat or the hight adjustable passenger floorboards.

 

Gold Bond Powder might help.

 

A solo seat will improved the rash 100%!

 

+1 on the baby powder but also try tucking jeans/pants into the boots.

 

Captian Itch makes leather heat shields. He's a member here, look him up.....

 

Keep'em spread!

 

+1 on the Gold Bond or similar product.

For the rash at or near the knee level, she can wear athletic socks that come up to the knee. That will at least give her another layer of protection.

Just a thought -- she is wearing heavy denim jeans, right? Not that cheap 10 oz. crap from some of the mall stores. 14 or 16 oz. is best.

 

If the problem is on the left side then removing the pegs and installing adjustable floorboards or stock floorboards with extensions will help you move her leg away from the exhaust pipe. Or maybe a taller boot.
Good Luck.

 

LMAO! Yes. My girl gets it too. She also had an adverse affect to subway exhaust when we were walking the streets of NYC a few times during visits to see my family in NJ.

She usually takes some benadryl and it goes away in a short time.
