Hot side pipes

[Mother]

I have ceramic coating on my pipes, and I have cromed side shields. The pipes are warm, but can be touched without getting burnt.

I had one summer where I burned the livin' crap out of my left ankle two or three times. Even had to get prescription burn cream, it was so bad. Haven't done it since, but I always put the welding blanket over the pipes for my passengers. I have to put the belts on and off them, so it's really not a big deal to reach behind the seat and pull the small blanket out.
