[QUOTE="tripletango, post: 75744, member: 509"] My mod has been in for 15,000 miles no problems. let it be said I have done all the mods even tried those ugly hot wing fairing extenders. Nothing really changes the problem that much. The bike is still very hot in temps over 85 degrees ambient. You cannot really change the basic flow designed into the bike. What I have found is that the screen makes a bigger difference than any other mod. I have a rifle with the billet that moves the base of the screen out. You can adjust the position to vent the heat in a more upward direction taking the flow off your thighs and legs. You still get hot but the heat is more evenly distributed! Basically the 06 has solved the problem with a completely different cooling flow pattern through the bike and in my discussions with the tech rep at daytona the claim was made that the heat problem had been improved by "200%". Airflow under the tank is now improved as is the flow across the pipes (about 90% of the problem on the 05 in my opinion) now vented under the bike. The radiator air now moves more efficiently through the fairing vents and out under the bike. There are many other flow modifications on the 06 which contribute to much more comfort for the rider.
