Default My 08 is burning up!

I have a 08 EGC,have it about a month 3300 miles, it the hottest bike I have ever ridden. I have a 03 RKC and there is no comparison as far as heat.
My daughters right leg was burning up tonight. I have to do something, maybe Nightrider Xide.
P.S> I would like to keep it as stock as possible.

My 08 Ultra was hot as well. I tried PCIII, RJ's and finally true duals. The true duals cooled it down a lot.

Dyno and remap will fix the heat issues.

Great cooling, better throttle response.

Whats not to like?

Slight decrease in gas mileage.

Great performance for $100.00 bucs.

I got stuck in traffic and thought my pants were going to start on fire.
I'm going to use this as justification to get rid of the stock exhaust.
The wife will believe anything.
