Those long shiny things were on two ultras I had and I never felt any heat on them. The 2010 wraps around the exhaust and I was wondering if anyone had had a problem with it no pun intended
Yes, even on Ultra Classics (the last three that I had) things will get hot in the bottom of the sadle bags.
Not sure how much hotter it will get with the extended bags. There is a pretty good clearance around the exhaust and I'd think that was taken into consideration when they designed it with the streatched bags.
I'm am curious how hot those bags are going to get in the summer, riding all day, for those guys that have those big boom can exhuasts. I'm thinkin those bags are gonna be to hot to touch the bottom of.
