Hi everybody.
I am having a problem with the heat on my ST and i have been reading most thread about the heat issue and seat solution but i'm not sure what solution is the right one.
I'm not saying that its a ST problem but rather my limitation as far as heat tolerance.
First thing, i live up in Canada and i am not use to the kind of heat that you have down in the State. Anything above 70 is a pain in the butt for me especially when its sunny. I know, you will tell me to move to Alaska.
If the temperature is below 70, no problem, i can ride for 3 hours without stopping. I would imagine that its not a seat problem... but if the temperature is in the 75-80, well my butt gets so warm that i have to stop after an hour and vent off and its no fun anymore.
I have tried different type of pants and still the same problem.
I have tried sheep skin, beads, and its a bit better but not a lot.
I dont know what to do. Right now i have stopped riding in warm weather untill i find a solution. Mind you, the heat wave here does not last very long, so i should be riding again very shortly.
Last night, i was reading a post about how the heat was distributed under and behind the bike and it occur to me that i have the "Fenda EXtenda" on the bike and the one installed in the back could prevent the heat from escaping.... i will remove it and see if it help.
