Hello, I have a 2008 Fatboy that is simply awesome. It's my first Harley and I love it ( should have done this years ago). I can't swing new exhaust and fuel management next year do to other things I need for the bike. As you all know, the stock exhaust splits the passenger footpeg and mama's boot gets hot. So far she has done a great job keeping the sole off teh exhaust, but it seems inevitable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep her foot away from the exhaust . Perhaps some type of plate or protection that fits around the peg? I'm ready to design and market something myself for this seemingly common problem. I appreciate any help and advice. Snows coming up here in Maine, so time to ponder this one. Thanks, Steve

 

Fill her boot up with snow ,






Sorry Steve,

Cant help you , but welcome to the forum and congrats on the Fatty.

 

Kuryakyn makes adjustable mounts. You can rotate them 90 degrees. Or you can install passenger floorboards. In the meantime, if you get a heavy dose of rubber on the pipe, oven cleaner helps....just be very careful how you use it(paint hates it).

 

big fan of easy-off oven cleaner here too. tks for the tip on the paint 4mer racer - will pay more attention next time i use the cleaner. curious to see how those kuryakyn mounts look though -their webpage doesn't show any pictures from the installed right-side version - do you have pics?

 

I used Meguiar’s cleaner and wax to remove it and it shines it too. I got rid of the heat by disconnecting the 02 sensors and replaced them with 330 ohm resistors like it said on www.nightrider.com. You can also buy the 02 eliminators from a power commander dealer for about $15 a pair.[/align]
