After riding about an hour, I feel lot of heat from the engine on my feet. I keep checking the heat vent, it's off! My legs are fine but sense a lot of heat on the feet!! Any advice? Thanks!

I'd bet it is a combination of the floorboards and Trike Wings. Both reduce the fresh air flow to the riders feet. It's one of the tradeoffs for getting the positive features of the floorboards and Trike Wings. I have the same issue but since I use my highway pegs a lot it's not too bad. :xszpv::xszpv:

I have the Kuryakyn 4056 pegs. I am pretty short so I set them in the lower position and that lets me rest my feet without having my knees up in my face... :D:D
