2talltim Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Change those frilly panties out for some big-boy pants and the heat won't bother you so much, sweet Susie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Header wrap the pipe where it goes under your foot. That might help with some of the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Heat Is A Not Uncommon Complaint On The 08 & 09 ConcoUrs. There Are Some Aftermarket Foam Heat Shields Sold On Ebay That Can CuRe The Issue. I Came From Riding A Cruiser, So I Don't Notice The Heat. The Fairings Were Revised In 2010 To Resolve This Issue. (Sorry For The Cap Letters, Not Sure What The Issue Is With This Stupid Phone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I expected the heat from the engine just not from below my heel. Ill suffer before I wrap it I think that would look terrible. Yea and pokey told me about the inserts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and pokey told me about the inserts Pull the pipe and send it out to be ceramic coated inside and out. I did that on mine, cuts the heat down dramatically. They will do just about any color you want, but if it is covered and unseen there is a flat black that is the most heat resistant with a longer life...go for it.

Pokey Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have never noticed the heat you speak of at my right boot area, of course riding and owning it for 4 years tends to get you used to things. I can tell you without a doubt that less heat is noticeable with the Area P can and midpipe than the bazooka OEM system. The foam inserts really do help from what I hear concerning overall heat, but can't say much about the foot heat you felt. I can tell ya that the heat sure feels good at certain times of the year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I also heard that switching to a new full exhaust system helps. It gets rid of the catalytic converters. It also gives a nice boost of a few extra HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I think it's my boots those things have no cushion and are solid black rubber. I'll try to ride it with my work boots and see if there is a difference. If so is an excuse to go shopping;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
