[QUOTE="RiderX, post: 1237985, member: 28667"] So I installed and had a great opportunity to try in 107 and 102 degree desert conditions. It is very awesome. I kept it simple and velcroed to an old pillion seat but there are brackets if you want to bolt down. I also used my coaxial heated gear connector to attach the power / ground and disabled the ignition trigger line. In a very hot garage, by temperature only) I could not tell if it was working (other than fluid transfer bubbles). It wasn't until I got the tubes against my skin and went for a ride that I realized all was right in the world. It does take a good ten minutes to get cold fluid through the tubes. How cold is it? This is hard to tell, but even if it's 25 degrees below ambient, a little airflow across the tubing feels spectacular! At night it was about 88 degrees and after getting cooled down, I jacked the temp up to 130. Wow! I got hot from abdomen to back and shoulders within a minute. So far, so good. Product and documentation are good. I still have tubes quite long, thinking I might want some mobility around the bike. Need to shorten them some. The quick disconnects lose about 5-7 drops of fluid. I will take a bottle of thermal transfer fluid to keep topped off at checkpoints. [/QUOTE]
