I just bought a set of cheaper saddlebags and they touch the heat shield slightly towards the back. Does anybody have experience with how hot the shield gets and if it gets hot enough to melt the saddlebag or gear inside of the bag? This is my first time dealing with underseat exhaust and it makes me nervous, about to leave on a 2500 mile trip. I see that some people use a support, but will they be ok without a support? Any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your time.
