Is there any way I can lower the heat transfer from the bike to my crotch, and also to the trunk area???
I sometimes keep a camera, cellphone, and my wallet in the trunk.... and the heat messes with the electrical equipment causing the screens to fade, but as soon as they cool they are fine, even once the camera didnt want to start at all!
Also depends on how new your bike is? I had the same heat problem you have.. but after i got my 1,000 mile service and the dealer changed out the oil and what not and the motor is getting broke in more. The heat isnt so bad now.. And yes talk to Odie and grab one of his silver heat shields for under the seat, get a thicker seat buell makes one for $150.00, wear thicker jeans or leather pants, and least but not least.. ya go fast but be safe!
Ride spread-eag! I spread my legs out wide to sort of throw the air into my wevos y pene! No bike mod's needed, just a simple idea that may look weird but works surprisingly well!
