[QUOTE="JimLor, post: 132744, member: 442"] I have an 05. I put the Frost King insulated tape on the bottom of the tank and the strip foam insulation where the tank meets the frame. The tank definately gets warm. My opinion, no where near warm enough to result in measureable burns. That said, rode last night in hi humidity and 90+ degree weather and the tank was - well, warm! Gotta tell you, it sure felt good when I filled my tank from 1/4 full. Tanks was nice and cool. At least some of the heat problem comes from the doggone frame. Don't have an infrared temp dohiggie, but after a ride and shutdown I can't touch the frame under the gas tank for even a second. It stays that way for a pretty good lenght of time and I can't imagine what temp it is, but it sure throws out a lot of heat. I find I notice the heat somewhat less when wearing my mesh tex than when wearing jeans (last night). Bottom line for me is that the heat is certainly noticeable, but not to distraction. [/QUOTE]
