Yeah no doubt Thanks. Thought of wrapping them before I got the ceramic coating... figured the heat wouldn't be a big deal. I was wrong lol. The Black coating looks really nice so you nailed it with the trying to keep the clean look. Last resort would probably be adding black wrap if nothing else works. I do like the wrap look, just depends on how the bike is setup.

I got my first Vrod in 05, and been riding them almost non stop since. My most recent one is an 08D (Eleanor). I also have a 13F (Foxy). It’s truly hard to pick a favorite. If I could combine the Muscle’s styling with the dual exhaust and the Nightrod’s mid controls then I think she’d be about perfect.

I've test ridden one, but hard to give up my Honda ST V4 1100. My first bike, in '56 was a 46 Harley EL 61....and put 140K on four Harleys over a period of 12 years, including riding 100 miles to work each day for three years....my last Harley being an almost new Sportster. At the age of 28, in 1968, I found myself raising two sons, convinced myself it was time to start 'acting more responsibly' and sold my last Harley. I went a year or so without riding, then one day my ex BIL came riding up my hill on a brand new Honda 750. Took it for a short ride and have been riding Hondas or Yamahas ever since. Now, I'm looking at 83 and considering giving it up...but then, there's that pert little redhead at the "Wind in Your Hair Cafe" who somehow fails to charge me every time I come in for breakfast..... she has mentioned she would like to go with me to visit the UFO museum in Roswell, NM....which is over 1000 miles that-away.

Going to throw on a Bassani full system and see if it helps, if not I'm unfortunately probably going to trade it in next year towards a Low Rider ST

I have the same pipes...the issue is when the radiator fan blows, it goes through the headers which makes the air even more hot by the time it reaches your leg. Redirect the air from the radiator fan opposite from the headers or make a custom header shield which blocks some of the hot air from hitting your leg.

Thank you for watching... truly appreciated. For sure, that positive energy is the Key to it all.

1st VRSC was an '06. No negatives at all. Sissy bar & T-Bags, too. It could travel, except for the frequent gas-stops. Could ride it from Yosemite/Vegas to San Diego, no problem. Current is a '17 Muscle. Got it because it was the last year. Hot as hell to ride. Wide rear rides completely differently, than the regular V-Rod. Bike wants to stand-up, on offramps. It is also not good on gravel & dangerous in torrential rain (drifted radically on a left turn, while stuck in torrential rain.) Sounds like a beast & accelerates instantaneously (much more rapidly than my '06. It can get to the end of the speedo quickly. Feels odd to ride it at 65, because it feels like a scooter, at that speed. For the pipes, I wrap them . Muscle has two side pipes, stock (have to install the single-side ones.) When going through tolls, I tend to burn my calves, while pulling out the fare. It takes the entire off-season, for the scars to go away. Really annoying.

I agree! My vrod gets hot at fish grease. I thought of wrapping mine but haven't done it yet. Why don't you like the idea of rapping it?

I think it's a matter of physics. The u-turn in the front header is a heat trap, less so in the rear one,as you can see. A change of configuration will kill that great look of balance & symmetry but might reduce the heat. Compromise can be a big pain at times and subnjectivity does'nt help one iota. Knees in the breeze.

Would you recommend this as a first bike?

So about sharp cars and sharp bikes I remember when I had my 92 Prelude SI. Every time I went out people asked about it. I get the same thing with my Camaro but not nearly as much

Maybe wrapping it only where the heat shield covers it may work . Wrap it in a way so the heat shield can still be attached to cover it . That may not stop all the heat but it may make it a lot more bearable on your leg and thigh . Other than figuring out a pipe re-route which may not be possible , that's the only thing I can think of to deal with it . Good luck , and that bike is feakin' gorgeous man !

I test rode the V-Rod. I wore jeans but I didn't feel heat on my right leg after 20 minutes of riding. Maybe you should have kept the stock pipes.

You might be able to cut a piece to fit welding fiberglass blanket between the heat shield and the pipe

I think if you install a spacer on the bolts that hold your heat shield, it will create a bigger air space between the hot pipe and the heat shield therefore making it cooler. I think 1/4 of an inch would make a great difference and to make it eaven better you could add aluminum insolation on the back side of the heat shield without changing the appearance of your header 👍

Very nice! I wish Akrapovic would make a version for mid-controls😫.

There's an amazing new insulating material called aerogel you can buy in sheets. Try cutting some to hide behind your carbon fiber heat shields and see if that's enough to fix your issue.

Jet-Hot Ceramic Coating. True to their word, I would say at least a 40% reduction in heat. I have 2-1 Fitzgerald Groundpounder

A ceramic heat shield instead of a carbon fiber shield will do the trick. Open cell. If the ceramic has not been baked properly it might take a few rides to expell the water from the ceramic and get it to shield properly. But it will improve with use.
