The heat coming off the bike don't bother me much. It is noticeable though. I use the MCL highway wings and it helps a bunch. When riding in cooler weather, I don't think we'll complain about the heat.
Last time I called someone on the white courtesy phone in Canada I was rewarded with a $300 dollar phone bill! My wife would kill me if I did that againWilling to share the secrets more broadly?
I'm happy to call you.

Your welcome to call me if you'd like.
I suggest that a full going through of the bike is in order.I only picked up my ST on saturday however during the test ride the bike felt very hot on my shins and ankles. After the test ride i had asked about the adjustable seat and found it had been in the low position. After moving to the high setting it felt much better for comfort and not smashing goods into the tank during breaking.
On saturday when bringing it home there was harcly any sensation of cooking my legs as there had bedn on the test ride. That being said...i only have about 75 miles between the two rides but the difference was very noticable.
The PO had put some air slates to direct air to the legs...didnt do much when the legs and knees hug the engine/frame/tank.
Thats all.
David,I suggest that a full going through of the bike is in order.
I have no idea what the temp was in CT on Saturday but I can't imagine it was terribly warm.
Something seems a bit off.

My Corbin saddle passes less heat than the oem seat does, because it has a thick fiberglass seat pan. I ride long hours,, so I added the reflective type insulation to it's under-surface as well. That insulation only made a small difference on the Corbin. But it may be more effective on an oem seat. Be careful,,, as Reflectix has an electrically conductive surface,,, cheers,,, CAt'Might consider mylar under the 1300 to deflect heat and getting it recovered.
This is my experience as well with my DelkevicsMy Staintunes didn't have cats so there was less heat around my feet.
It's been a long time since my ST1300. The seat didn't fit tight against the tank did it? So we had a convection oven going?I have Staintunes as well and also think having no cats helps keep the bike from getting as hot. And Larry’s original proposition that keeping a little space between your crotch/legs and the tank area also has a significant impact.
