Passenger Leg Burns - solutions?

[Divot]

Anyone come up with a novel approach to keep one's passenger from burning their leg on the exhaust pipes?  I'm looking for something that is not passenger centric.

Once burned, twice learned. Wear boots.

Dunno. Judy says it's not a problem. It's NOT a problem. You don't argue with the Queen.

However. I put mini wing boards on for her. She says they are comfortable. Stock pegs and one may need to stretch??  I can't see how it's a problem

I can't see how it's a problem

Yeah, me neither.  The pipes are under the foot peg position.  And passengers are never supposed to put their feet down, until they get off.

These big boards can be a problem pushing the bike around for a seated driver when down (but not up).



Smaller boards or mini wings would be better.

Kuryakyn Iso mini wings


Kuryakyn small passenger boards


What size are her feet?

I have Cobra boards on both Valks.
Wife says she's never burnt herself on the pipes in 22 years of ownership, so I have no answer ether.

I have Kuryakyn Premium boards boards that aren't as chunky as most thus aren't in the way of backing up as bad as they could be but never had a problem with passenger footwear "melt down" so to speak.

I do occasionally have a problem on the highway pegs with the rear corner of the valve covers on my calf (short legs). 

The heat reminds you to move a bit outboard.

I had never  had  an issue  way back when I was  a passenger. For  well over  150K
And  I'm very short.

Are  they trying to place  a foot on the  ground  and  dismount ?
Maybe  have  them Still stand on the  Peg and  dismount that way.

The  rule  of  thumb was always  rider  mounts first  then passenger, Passenger  off  first then rider !
This  way the  bike  is  held  up right all the time.. And they stand  on foot  peg  each time.
Once  the  Rider  says  ready !  The  passenger  should  always  ask the rider  if they are  ready !

And  yes  they should  always  be  wearing  Boots! ATGATT...

That is exactly the right procedure Tracy.   

I got on first, and had the wife put one hand on my shoulder and the other on the trunk or sissy, step up on the peg/board with right foot, then step the left leg over and slide onto the seat.  Then reverse to dismount.

Now, I never take passengers.  Git your own bike.   

I might take a gal around the neighborhood, if she's under 170.  (never ask, just estimate)

There was a guy at Deals gap went 400.  Nice guy and good rider, and short for this world.

I weighed 150 even last night (and after all that restaurant food on our week long trip).  I have not been 150 since college (50 years).  The wrinkles in my belly say it's time for situps.  I HATE situps, so I wear a shirt.

Line h13man, I have Kuryakan floor boards for the Queen and have never had a problem.
However, when we were dating and she showed up in shorts one day and she did burn her leg while leaning over to force a kiss from me and got burnt.
Now she's my wife and has learned her lesson NOT to ride in shorts, in fact she wears armored blue jeans.  Clanky
