Is the Buell exhaust purposely designed to blow at the rear tire to help keep it heated? looks like most of the modern ones are like that. I do love me some undertail exhaust though

No fucks given.
They don't blow at the rear tire.
They're mounted underneath on all the bikes for weight distribution purposes, but the tips are offset so they don't heat up your tire. The last thing you want is a super hot rear tire.

Couldve sworn there was one that was aimed at the tire. Compared to side or undertail exhausts at least, seems like it'd be hotter in the general area

The other asshole
The wind will blow the exhaust clear before it ever has a chance to affect anything.
I'm sure if you were sitting still for a long period of time general temps would be a little higher as compared to one that's clean and clear from underneath the bike, but then you have to consider that the majority of bikes, especially inlines have the header run under the engine which would put off wayyy more heat than the XB's muffler.

Probably thinking of the Blast.
Which sits much farther up than the XB's muffler.
Most likely wouldn't cause any problems due to the wind effect kert was talking about. Plus it doesn't make enough power to cause any real problems anyway :lol: The aftermarket pipes, which are pretty much needed on a Blast, have angled tips.
