EXCESSIVE HEAT COMMING OFF THE EXHAUST PIPES THAT BURN THE SKIN ON MY CALFS. THIS OCCURS IN A VERY SHORT TIME OF RIDING, USUALLY IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES INTO A RIDE. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER WRAP THE EXHAUST WITH HEAT DEFLECTING WRAP, WHICH HAS NOT HELPED THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME I RIDE, I HAVE HEAT BURNS ON THE BACK OF MY RIGHT LEG. HARLEY-DAVIDSON EMPLOYEES CONSIDER THIS A NORMAL CONDITION. I NEVER HEARD OF SOMETHING CAUSING INJURY TO SOMEONE AS BEING A NORMAL CONDITION. *TT

Is 2 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2011 and 2011, roughly 2 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
