You can get a heat shield (chrome) that will clamp on the pipe at the problem area. I have forward controls with drag pipes on my 01 and ran into the same problem. Here is a link.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to H/D. I recently purchased a 2008 Sportster 1200 Low. \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;I love the bike, except that I keep burning the inside of my right calf on the exhaust. \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;Perhaps this is a stoopid question, but does anyone have a solution? \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;(other than riding with my right knee waving in the wind.)

LOL, I have been a distance runner for, well lets just say a long time. \\; My calves are most likely the size of your chest...LOL, and I don't burn my LEGS, shorts or not. \\; Not that I would EVER ride in shorts.. Those of you that do will end up with more than a leg burn at some point in time.. \\; \\; I would go with the guy that suggested a recall. \\; Been a LOOOONG time since I ran stock exhausts...soooo.

Sorry.. can't help it.... not meaning to be a smart-a$$... this is meant in jest... but I think your problem has something to do with natural selection or something similar... if you put your leg against something really hot enough times, eventually you learn to avoid doing it.
