Thanks, yeah the muffler needs a heat shield. I tried wrapping some titanium heat wrap cloth around it, but that still gets hot enough to make a mark. When I wrecked it burnt the inner part of my calf pretty good, but when I'm not crashing it's fine as long as I'm mindful of not leaning the bike to the left at a stop. As far as the bike being stolen, I have that covered. I was able to find a lo-jack like solution that tracks the bike through GPS. If the bike so much as moves it sends me a text to my phone. If stolen, it gives me directions to its location. Got to love technology.
Thanks, I'm still healing from the spill. Road rash is the worst. I would have much rather gotten a gash and been done with it with some stitches. I definitely learned a valuable lesson. The outcome could have been a lot worse. I'll definitely be more conscientious of what is a potential hazard on the bike from now on.
