| Description of the problem | I purchased peace officer ultra classic model, i also own a 2005 sportster. The ultra was dangerously hot on the left side above the exhaust, where left leg sat by design. I' read the other posts and felt hd needed to address this. The latest hd magazine simply suggests to wear heavy pants. Very disappointed with this design flaw. Hd was offering a reprogramming that shut off the rear cylinder at parade speeds. Again, i believed the exhaust was the problem, and also checked myself at long lights to make sure pants were not on fire! *ak |
