I had a similar experience. From about 500 miles on, my Rocket seemed to put out an excessive amount of heat from the right side. It went away after about 1000 miles. At the time I chalked it up to normal break in friction. Looking back, I'm sure the fact that my bike was never properly tuned had a bit to do with it. But mostly I think the heat issue was the result of a heavy throttle hand.
When the Rocket was new I was drunk with all that torque and horsepower. At every light, I'd get my "fix." (always within break-in parameters of course!) Several months and several thousand miles later, I'm still a horsepower junkie, but I ride a bit more conservatively. Consequently, I don't experience that toasty right leg at all. On those more spirited rides when I have to get my "fix," my right leg still gets a bit warm.
