ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING - EXHAUST SYSTEM
04/26/2011200
 Excessive heat comming off the exhaust pipes that burn the skin on my calfs. this occurs in a very short time of riding, usually in about ten minutes into a ride. i have had the dealer wrap the exhaust with heat deflecting wrap, which has not helped the problem. each time i ride, i have heat burns on the back of my right leg. harley-davidson employees consider this a normal condition. i never heard of something causing injury to someone as being a normal condition.
