HueyDriver- ever get your heat issue figured out? You posted in March and you're in Oklahoma; I can't imagine what you may be going thru now, in summer. I am wondering, what type of gear are you wearing when you ride? I don't recall if you specified that. Are you wearing riding boots? below-the-ankle-(tennis) shoes? shorts and sandles?
Two_wheeled- looking forward to your review. What kind of seat do you have? I've always had a Corbin and never knew what a stock seat was like. Well, I recently got one and have since noticed that the seat material makes my butt sweat. Is the stock seat vinyl? seems like it. Anyway, I also have an Alaskan Leather Butt Pad, to use in cooler weather, but I found it also serves an additional benefit--it's just as comfortable in the summer. Not sure how it does it but my butt doesn't sweat like it does without it. I suppose the sheepskin acts like a barrier of sorts and perhaps is trapping air in the fur; almost like it's protecting me in much of the same ways as it would the animal. I also have the fairing deflectors, which seems to shield my knees and shins from the heat. I originally got the deflectors for creating a bigger air pocket for my pillion. Long story, short--Deflectors and the Butt Pad; both purchased for different reasons but have the discovered benefit of additional heat management.
