[QUOTE="brazos parker, post: 11481, member: 291"] I have a 3 month old 05 ABS and have experienced the left side heat first hand. Personally, I don't find it too bad in Joe Rocket Ballistic 4.0 pants, worse in Draggin' Jeans, even worse in mesh riding pants but am willing to tolerate it just to ride this great bike. This weekend I took a 2 day trip w/ 8 other bikes (assorted brands). One guy was riding a Honda Gold Wing w/ all the farkles. I noticed his windshield vent and got to thinking abt a post I read on this site(or the other one) abt installing the Glod Wing windshield vent on an FJR. I never have seen the pics of this mod but got to thinking that if one was installed on the FJR [I][COLOR=#FF0000]upside down[/COLOR][/I] to direct some air down to the front of the tank, it might increase the air flow under the tank and help duct the heat away, eliminating the need to add insulation to the engine, which, IMHO, is not such a hot idea (no pun intended). I think this mod would look like shitola on the FJR but wanted to get the thoughts of the techies on this site...actually, the thoughts of anyone would be appreciated. Good idea? Bad idea? Opinions, please. [/QUOTE]
