Heat from engine

Bacon!

Phil! Be nice!
I just returned from Spokane in over 90° temps.
With the CES it IS EFFING HOT!

@ghost
I had my Sis (a leather fabricator extraordinaire) make me a legging.
She added a multiple layer, including a metallic heat reflector in the area closest to the header.
This helps heaps and, after burning through two pairs of riding pants, has saved all my other riding pants.

@Mittzy have to say the only uncomfortable heat I noticed on your bike was if it wasn't moving for more than a couple of minutes. Slow creeping traffic wouldn't be too much fun I imagine, but as long as you're moving it was fine - and twisting the throttle a little sort of takes your mind of it in any case.

Then of course there was the smoke and smell of burning rubber that was pretty distracting too........

That's exactly what we spent over 30 minutes in stop n' go road construction over Mt. Rainier.

I have burnt nothing whilst riding mine, even with the rebands....
But I have a funny looking heat shield and lava wrap

What is that big "dent" in the frame forward of the side cover?

 

[Mittzy]

I dunno - always been there- has yours not got a dent? Maybe you should look into getting one

Every Roadster I've seen has that dent in the frame and the pre Roadsters have a bigger dent. No idea why. Best not think about it to much @1olbull just go with it and don't make a scene.

I wander how many will check their bikes now

They've always been on my classic. Never really worried about why

Here's how I handled the dents. Thanks again Mike @Navigator ! Me like shiny !

Always assumed that dent was so you could zippy-tie an ice cube there .. to help cool your leg on hot days
