My wife is getting skin irritation (burns?) on her right calf from her 2022 FLRT.
Anybody else have this problem and if so, what did you do about it?

I have the tank lift and floorboard spacers front n back, wife is ok. Does she wear long pants or shorts?
btw, just noticed you are in Jasper! WOW!!!
Some remove the catalyst converter as a start…On my 2011 triglide that’s what I did..
Nice photo - I liked it there too.
Sorry for the confusion - we're from the ORIGINAL Jasper. Ontario not Alberta.

If you do not want to mess with the cat (or you can do this in addition to removing the cat), wrap the hottest part of the exhaust with this TAPE. It will greatly reduce the amount of heat radiating out to her right leg. Here's a vid of that tape....on your Freewheeler, you can put the tape behind the shields and it will not be readily visible.

The video on the heat wrap is excellent. Upfront and informative as always. What do you recommend for a wire tire to secure the wrap when beginning and ending? Will need something that won't interfere with the clamps when I put the heat shields back on.
Thanks for the good words. Glad you are finding the videos useful/interesting.
I use hose clamps, and just like the hose clamps that hold the heat shields on, the bulky part of the hose clamp is on the engine side, so not readily visible.
I know a lot of guys that use metal zip ties, and they work fine also, I just find the hose clamps usually have a wider footprint, and are easier to tighten.
Enjoy your ride!

I have to agree with Kevin. I used stainless steel wire straps. Although they work great, if I had thought of the hose clamps, it would made it easier. I also would not use the Titanium Wrap. I used it and within 1 year, it had disintegrated. I re-wrapped with the asbestos wrap and sprayed it with silicone paint and it has held up great. I wrapped my buddy's pipes 3 years ago with the asbestos wrap and silicone paint and after 55+k miles it is still looking great. Here is what I used:

That is strange about the titanium wrap. That is my sporty in the video with the Titanium wrap applied over 10 years ago now....still in great condition. And it has been ridden in all kinds of weather, all over the country.
Did you use the Titanium wrap seen at this LINK? Or was it a different Titanium wrap?
Glad you got some wrap on there that you and your bud are liking!
Kevin
I used Design Engineering Inc. titanium wrap.
Thank you for letting me know.
Wow, that is surprising. Don't doubt your experience, just wonder why.
Is it that much hotter in Texas?
Glad the other wrap is working well for you. :clapping:

I installed these on my 21 TG. About $90 bucks shipped to Texas. Wow, what a difference!
