Heat Question

[DebbieW]

I took my SG to work on Monday and rode home in 90F weather. When stopped at a light, the heat coming off the bike was painful. My legs really hurt. Any suggestions on what I can do to help that without running red lights to keep going? When I was moving, there was no issue. I am taking a long trip at the end of July so want to make sure I figure out how to help this issue.

You still have the heater pipe? If so remove it or decat it. Heat shields under seat? A must

Fullsac headers check them out

Like the other posters said. U have to decat or get new headers with no restrictions. A tuner would help too.

I still find a fair bit of heat on a mild to warm day when in traffic. Running Fullsac DX pipe with a great tune. Certainly an improvement with no cat, but they are a very large capacity water cooled engine, so.....heat is a fact of life I guess. And limited air flow. Interesting I feel almost nothing off my 2004 dyna though.

I decatted mine and while still feel a good amount of heat, I wear long pants to keep my legs from getting burnt....just a suggestion...

Thanks everyone.

Something else you can do is install cooling fans....I don't have them but I hear they help out a lot...here's a couple pics of them.
