Uh oh,passenger heat BIG problem


In summer any parts of the bike (or car for that matter) in direct sunshine soon become too hot to touch. Looks to me like you're running a screen. That will hold hot air and direct it back onto you. If you haven't removed it for summer, perhaps try that.
 

Those CES do indeed heat things up quite a bit, especially at stops in traffic!
I had a leather leggin with a sewn in heat shield made for my right leg that works a charm!
The added heat from the CES is WELL WORTH the performance gain!
 
I know what you mean about the sun. Touch a car with bare skin here in Texas, instant 2nd degree burn. That's why I don't leave it parked in the sun. Thanks for the advice. All my bikes have had screens and I've never felt heat like this before. I think I try some of the suggestions I have read here and remove the screen.
 

But, have you EVER straddled a 140 cubic inch, three cylinder (each being over 750cc) before?
 
Get a Bushtec Tow Tow and let her ride in it. I can not wait for Ginger to get a little older and trained to get in it. Has its own windscreen and bimini top of I choose to put it on.
 
My wife and i have done several trips on the rocket, 1000 mile day 2 years ago, 3800 miles in a week, my bike is stock, she has never complained,, on the other hand, us Mexicans are tougher than nails
 
Install an aftermarket Air Conditioning system (the pump will sap you of some hp though) or fit a side car to the left side (away from the heat), when riding don't position it too far into on coming traffic!
