hot feet...

[wiz1974]

Wondering if any of you have this problem... my heels become uncomfortably hot during any ride 20 minutes or longer. I am currently wearing Wolverine brand boots. The heel of the boot isn't hot to the touch, but my heel gets so hot I find myself hanging my boots off the very edge of the peg to get away from the exhaust. Not sure if different boots would help... Does a "true" motorcycle boot have some type of shielding in the heel area to protect against the heat from the exhaust? Any suggestions?

Real motorcycle boots have a more heat resistant sole. When I switched to my Dr. Marten work books I noticed they would melt on the pipe. I put on an exhaust shield and that solved my melting problem. I did not feel heat from the exhaust though.

Check the FJRtech.com website linked here and see the Tanji heat shrouds. Two installed on mine and no more melted souls.

Similar solution using generic Cobra heatshields for less than 20 Bucks from DK

Keep your heels off the exhaust. :dribble:
