Heat from engine


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

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.
 

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