    Was a bit cold today but still felt a fair bit of heat just hitting the back of my leg. Will be interesting to see how it is in the summer

    No deal breaker but I did notice it

    Think you guys with the mid controls will be getting it directly onto your right leg

    Anyone else noticed it?

    So funnily enough, I've actually been (pleasantly) surprised by this. On the mid-set pegs on the TFC (and R), I've really not noticed any substantial heat coming off the headers.

    My leg actually sits about level with, perhaps slightly behind the rearward carbon header cover, and I guess it does a good job of deflecting and/or absorbing the heat.

    I've been wearing Triumph riding jeans, and long johns. As you say though, that may change in the summer that may change as the long johns come off, who knows.
