Heat feels like right leg burning up

I ride a Dyna but would like to buy a softail one day. I rented a Heritage not long ago and when riding in traffic on a hot day, the inside of my right leg felt like my leg was going to burn up. I had to place my right foot on the far edge of the floorboard to get any relief. Is this the oil pan or the exaust that is burning my leg. Would a oil cooler help, would heat shields help? Any suggestions. Like I said, my Dyna has no heat problems at all.
Thanks
David

Its the exhaust.
Did the pipes have shields on them??
I had Bassani Pro Streets with no shields that would cook my leg in cooler weather so I got rid of them before the hot weather came.
