    Default FLOORBOARD OR PEG HOTFOOT ?

    For those of us experiencing right hot foot: do you have floorboards or pegs? I was just wondering if maybe it's the floorboards making your foot hotter. Because I have an RT and I don't experience a lot of right foot heat but my wife as the passenger has experienced right calf heat. Most of my heat seems to be coming from the glovebox area. After a ride pop the seat and the backbone of the bike is very hot to the touch even sounds like the gas is boiling. Our rides have been all under two hours.

    I have ridden with both and there's not a lot of difference except with the boards, you can easily move your foot around to find a cooler spot.

    I have Seal Deluxe and lots of room to move my feet around. They got hot on the pegs.
