[QUOTE="Aristoi, post: 134284, member: 2196"] I recently did all the heat fixes on my 05, and i am happy with the results. I thought the heat was such an issue before i fixed it, i would avoid riding altogether on hot days (85+). Before the fixes i would rate the heat on a scale of 10 (unbearably hot) to 1 (ideal comfort, heat not noticeably different from the time your start the bike to normal operating temp). Before any heat fixes the heat issue to me it was a 10. It was my first priority to fix on this bike. After insulating under the gas tank it was then an 8. After cromeits left and right side heat fixes it is now a 3. I am not motivated enough to do anymore to bring it closer to a 1 since i am really close now, and will ride in any weather now. The remaining heat difference keeping it from being a 1 to me is the radiant heat coming from the frame when bike has been at operating temp for a while. When i have spare time or nothing else better to do, I will attempt to add some sort of insulation or cover/heat sheild over the frame from my shin to just above my knees and i beleive this would bring it to a 1.
