I have a 2000 H-D Heritage Classic with a automatic sensor for the turn signals that turns the signal off with the tilting of the bike. I want to disconnect this so I have to turn it off manually. How do I do that?

How can you keep the extreme heat from your motorcycle engine off the inside of your legs. When I am just sitting at a red light or just idling my bike after awhile, the extreme heat from the engine drives me crazy; that is until I began to move again. So can I prevent that heat from stirring me crazy. Thanks
I only stand 4 foot 11 inches, really would like to learn how to ride a motorcycle. What would be a good choice for a beginner? and i would like to be flat footed @ that stop light??? Thanx for any and all suggestions.

One thing that helps is getting your exhaust headers ceramic coated. Had my entire exhaust coated except the cans for $300.00. It's baked on inside and outside the pipes. It can withstand extreme high temps. Also it comes in a variety of colors so your options are wide open. I love it and wouldn't own my Ducati without it.

Some bikes run hotter because of where the oil pan sits. If you're riding a soft tail, you're probably intimately acquainted with the saying, "Light a fire under her ass," because the oil pan is UNDER YOUR BUTT, between your thighs. I have a HD Fat Boy and let me tell you, standing still gets wicked hot and the dipstick cover has burned me more than once. I had a leather cover made to cover the dipstick and will only ride with jeans on. Alternatively, look for a bike that doesn't sit atop the oil. I don't know that any other thing is really possible other than the deflector mentioned by the previous lady and maybe leather chaps.
