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?

As rhino 2 mentioned, removing the cat will reduce the amount of felt heat.
If it is still too hot for her after that, then reducing actual heat, will also reduce felt heat.
There is a complete Written Report at this LINK on all the things you can do to reduce actual heat.
And here is a video on 10 low and no cost ways to reduce heat. #5 in the video is removing the cat.

Be who your dog thinks you are.
2021 Tri Glide Ultra Vivid Black with some Farkles.
btw, just noticed you are in Jasper! WOW!!!
We have fond memories of your corner of the world, and hope to be back soon.
Here's a LINK from one day of our time up your way.
Here's a photo from that day-
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.

I wrapped my exhaust pipes which significantly reduced the heat to my right leg. Also, installed the extended floor boards.
Exhaust wrap I used:

Also, some people are use these with results.

I have used the Titanium Exhaust Header Heat Wrap, it fell apart after one year. So I would stay away from it.
If your are going the pull headers off, might as well de-cat. You also can buy de-catted headers on Ebay for around $150.00.

Oh my. Sorry for my ignorance...I see, you are on the other side of the country!
If she still has the OEM air cleaner...that is something we call a Hot Box. See video below. If not, then it is just the heat radiating from the engine, and cooling it down should help her leg.

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:

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