Africa Twin
I don't have crash bars yet and haven't felt any heat at all but will definitely keep this in mind so I can fab something up to get some of that heat when the colder Fall weather comes around

Virtually all of them put of much more heat than my AT. BTW, I have Heed bars as well, but no bags. Could your bags be channeling the heat to your knees? Maybe try running it on a hot day without the bags??

Every bike I've owned has heat coming off the radiators, that's what they do! If it worries you, sell your bike and try golf. FORE!

I've always thought the heat from the AT was not at all bad. My last bike was a Ducati Scrambler and it would actually BURN the insides of my right thigh while stopped at red lights.
