Default HOT

Hey guys i just got my 08 CBR 1000 LE and i love it. I just have one question, does your guys legs get really hot when riding. It seems like the engine covers and exhaust radiate alot of heat compared to other bikes ive riden. Might be a stupid question but its a question non-the less, thanks

compared to my 06 there is certainly more ankle heat that i notice. im sure this is from the routing of the exhaust. it isnt great but not too terrible that it worthy of a fix at this point.

Which would you rather have, a warm leg or toasted "junk"? My old RC51 would roast my 'nads!

The factory exhaust seemed to hold the heat at my foot and radiate up my leg. The twobros seems to relieve this issue.

Well yeah the 2bros is carbon fiber unless you got the SS can right? seems like it's farther away from your foot too.
