I just got the V-force and put Muzzy exhaust on yesterday. That rear Cyl pipe is so Hot. My leg is 4 inches for the heat shield and I still can't ride in shorts. Does anyone else find this exhaust hot on the leg. How close can I turn in the header to the engine. I didn't want to get to close to the hoses on the engine. Anyone know of a better heat shield. What else to do. I have rejeted with a dyno jet kit and went richer than they suggested since I opened up the air box. OH buy the way just installed the procomm CDI and what I difference I just might ride this more than my DS. Cant' wait to hit the dunes.

 

A buddy of mine that runs them uses exhaust wrap. You'll just have to watch it and change the wrap often because it has a tendency to hold in moisture and corrode the pipes, but it seems to work well. ~coop

I wear riding boots that come up almost to my knee that makes it bearable. When you ride slow for a long time it gets pretty uncomfortable so I just point my knee out and get some wind on it.

 

It still is that bend from the rear cyl that gets me. It will get me tomarrow! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

No, I am on the rich side (just to cool it down some). I do ride with shorts though. Have you rode yours with shorts on?

 

Get them ceramic coated. Most people buying them Jet Hot coated before installing them. It insulates the heat and conserves no moisture like the wrapping strip.

 

thanks for the info guys. I think I am going to try the heat shield trick and open up the air screw. will the air screw really make a difference. I know on my DS it really only helps the idle. I just might have to jet hot them. I can drop off this week they are here in phoenix. And I was riding in shorts today.

 

I looked at it late last night hope I didn't wake up the neigbors. Most of the heat is coming from the 2 into 1 pipe right behing the heat shield tha came with the muzzys. I will have to get a shield made for that I don't think Jet Hot will cool it down that much.
