Heat not Tolerable on hot weather

I was riding on OEM pipes on 80 degree weather in Los angeles a couple of weeks ago and almost had 2nd degree burn on my right inner lower leg from the heat coming from the pipes and header. Heat is unbearable. Called up the dealership and suggested an upgrade that will cover the header and pipes which is covered by the warranty. But i decided to change to full termi exhaust. See how it goes this summer in LA.

Here's the thread on the mods for heat. It consists of a larger shroud covering the underseat pipes and a plastic guard on the vertical cylinder

one or both might be a solution.

I played with one in person last week (not installed, still in the box from Ducati). It's a big aluminum shroud (unpainted, bare AL color) that goes on first and then a dual layered black piece that goes over the top. It's pretty big and burly. The covers for the head appeared to be just thick plastic. I'm going to wait and see one installed on a bike in person before I decide if I want one on my bike or not.
