I test rode pokeys Connie today and on that bike the exhaust runs directly under the right foot peg . What I noticed was when I was getting on it a bit an extreme amount of heat was coming through my boot heel and I could feel on the bottom of my foot it was rather hot . My boots are Joe Rocket Big Bangs, they pretty much have about a half inch solid rubber sole to them maybe I need to look into a different type. Has anybody else came across this issue either with these boots or similar type of bike?
