hey guys, haven't been on here in a while. now that weather is hot what is it with the heat on this bike. its my first HD so I don't know everything about them. I got all running issues fixed and its running great with power vision. but its almost too much heat to ride the damn thing.
I came out of work the other day it was around 95 out and got a few miles down the road and had to stop and get off the bike as my right lower *** cheek was on fire haha. I've never seen this on other bikes I've had. is this just the way it is? or should I change out the head pipes? I have stock head pipes with wild pig slip on's. I have looked at the heat shields but they all look cheap as hell and not many good reviews as far as being durable.
throw me some answers here guys
thanks

I think that one of our Crotch coolers will certainly help your problem. They have a larger footprint than the plastic ones and they are by far much easier to install. If you have any questions just email or give us a call Thank you Itch

Yes, you are sitting on top of a heat pump, so there will be heat.
Is the heat you are complaining about all the time, or just in traffic?
A lot of variables here.
Some type of heat deflector is definitely in order.
But what caught my eye, you said running issues fixed with the PV.
What kind of running problems?
What mods to the bike?
How did you fix them?
A bad tune will cause excessive heat.
