Yes, besides it radiating less heat, for better rider and passenger comfort...it also does exactly what you say...speeds up the exhaust gas velocity for better performance.
Thanks for the info. I’ve made changes to my bike to include the DK filter relocation kit, Jaggs 10 Row fan assisted oil cooler and Its reduced my bike oil operating temperature by about 25 degrees. I live in West Texas and the riding season temps till about October are well above 95 degrees. My bike has Luv Jugs as well. The heat has never affected bike performance but it’s about as uncomfortable as all get out riding. I wrapped my header pipes about a year ago and that helped as well. Thanks for all the good info. 2016 HD Streetglide Special, 110 high compression big bore kit.
I've always been pro wrap. The only issue is the last wash before putting the bike away for the winter. (if salt has already been applied to the roads)
Yeah, in that situation it is either let her idle for a while (probably ok, but I don't like that idea) or to put a strong fan on it til it completely dries.
The exhaust wrap under the heat shields is a great idea that I've never heard or thought of. Do you need to remove the headers on an '08 Heritege to wrap them? Thank you!
I've seen a few folks that have done that. My take is that if the engine is so hot that it is radiating heat thru the seat, the engine is too hot and should be cooled down. Here is a video on the subject- th-cam.com/video/HC-Z_rZtY9c/w-d-xo.html
Yep, they run hot. There is an entire series on how to reduce the heat at the following link. There is no one big thing to do...but a combination of a lot of little things do make a big difference.

Carissimi DK Custom sulla mia Road king m8 ho avuto problema di blow up olio nel filtro aria e bruciato dagli scarichi prima di conoscervi ho affrontato il problema risolvendo con il catch can e ho cambiato olio ora uso Euroil 20 w 50 sintetico e spero di aver almeno risolto parte del problema solo per questo problema ho gia' speso quasi 800 euro ora la stagione non mi permette di fare comparazioni e prove spero almeno che l'uso dell'olio attuale aiuti anche a raffreddare un poco il motore grazie per le vostre risposte a tutti questi problemi...😎😉
You do not. Only if you have are not getting your oil temps down with one oil cooler, should you consider a second oil cooler. The oil filter relocation does NOT require an oil cooler, or any specific oil cooler.

it is my left side that burns me like bacon. My 09 Street Glide transmission cover sticks out so far and when I put my foot down, it burns the side of my leg. A 1 minute traffic light feels like a 7 minute blow torch. Any suggestions for that?
No offense..but if you are wearing long pants and it is burning, the whole power-plant is running too hot. I would look at the report linked below and start working thru the list to cool it down.

@@DKCustomProducts no offense taken, I appreciate the reply with info. I stated its my transmission, its my primary cover that burns me.

Good question. It should not, however, if you have a 2017 or later HD, the EPA says that it does. So if you do a cat delete on a 2017 or later, and are still under factory warranty, if you need to take it in for warranty work, either don't tell them, or put a factory header back on before taking it in. It is total politics and money grabbing. There is absolutely NOTHING about removing the cat that can have any negative effect on the bike, so having it affect the warranty is actually a violation of the consumer rights Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. But it is not worth fighting HD and the EPA on it.

@@JudgeVandelay Understood. Next time you might want to consider a 3rd party warranty company. Less expensive, honored by all HD Dealerships, and no bogus restrictions like the HD branded extended warranty.

The exhaust wrap helps to promote better low pressure zones to keep exhaust gas speed high for less reversion

That West Texas summer heat can be crazy! Good to hear you've made some progress in cooling your ride down.
Happy you;re enjoying the vids. 👍
Alternative...I had head pipes ceramic coated inside/outside (Jet-Hot) for reduced felt heat. 2020 Road Glide Spec
That is absolutely a good alternative to reduce felt heat. Expensive, but effective.

Keep that heat away!

It depends on how nimble your hands are. We have done it, but it can get tight.
Great video series
Thanks man. We appreciate that, it means a lot, coming from you. 👍
@@DKCustomProducts I am humbled
I tought I could put some heat insulation under the seat.

Very nice, you should be better off now with the catch-can. I am not familiar with that oil.
Thank you for the kind words!
So if I bought the air assisted cooler do I need the other oil cooler with the relocated oil filter ???
You do not. Only if you have are not getting your oil temps down with one oil cooler, should you consider a second oil cooler. The oil filter relocation does NOT require an oil cooler, or any specific oil cooler.

Harley makes a digital oil dipstick/temp gauge combo.
