Does anyone have a problem with the amount of heat coming out of the cooling vents of the liquid cooled FLHTK onto the right foot? I have moved my highway pegs six ways to sunday and cannot escape the flow of heat. I realize that the design is to direct the flow of air to the side stream for disapation. But, ouch! Can't get it off my right foot. What is everyone else doing to cope with this particular problem.

Thanks to you guys for the input. Since I posted the heat problem that I have been experiencing. I learned that my problem is not the heat from the cooling radiators, it is because of the catalytic converter. Apperently it is located in the header pipes next to the floor boards. It becomes super heated to function. I also learned that it is an easy fix (depending in the state you reside in). It is my first liquid cooled Harley and I really like it. I am currently working on the necessary changes that makes it my SKOOT. After my first familiarizing trip, I sent my seat out for customizing. Changed the windshield and added a few personal necessities. PERTY AWSOME on the road. Also, i got to say that I really enjoy the stability this model provides. Miles seem to just fall away. Be aware and be safe. Thanks!

I gave a guy a hot foot once, I was soldering some copper plumbing and he was standing in the way on his phone... :icon_clap:


You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....
