    Roasting Right Leg!

    Anyone find a cure for "roasting right leg" syndrome?

    Now the weather's a bit warmer my right leg is getting really hot from the exhaust, even on quite short rides. It's not unbearable, just a bit annoying.

    Cheers

    I don't notice the problem on my peg. It gets way hot here in Greece. On a transalp, though, I always have to wear long pants because of the relative positions of leg and rear cylinder. That really burns.

    Aye, it does indeed get hot, but I'm used to it and always wear Alpinestars boots and Dainese trousers when on my bike...

    I recommend taking out a Buell XB or a Harley out for test ride then you will understand the meaning of hot!!

    The Peg is a kitten in comparison :0

    As a former owner of a Buell XB12 , I have to agree and say the Peg does not get hot at all by comparison! On the Buell the heat mostly came up through the seat, mostly the right hand side. Almost painful. I love my Peg much more!

    I agree, but if you're riding a bike wear the right gear, skin grafts are much hotter and hurt much more than ever the heat from your engine will.
