I think most of the success with heat is getting rid of the CAT, and then using the side deflectors (the seat ones). Some bikes must run hotter than others, as I've never really had an issue with mine. Then again I was used to my SE which was brutally hot. I only really notice the heat when riding in shorts around town.

 

I've got rid of the cat on mine and it works to a degree. Sometimes the heat doesn't bother me at all and other times I can feel it. It's like the bike is a woman and keeps changing it's mind.

I haven't tried the heat deflectors even though they're cheap so may give them a try and have also thought about the 1290 insulated rear pipe. The heat issue isn't bad enough to make me desperate but I may try the other options.

 

Shorts and flip flops?
Is that tribal art?

 

You've lost weight.

 

It hasnt been easy, thanks for noticing.

 

Judging from that little video Bollocks, heat in the chins could be a particular problem

Also 200 euro

 

get the fuelling dongles in, richens it up a lower revs ie puts it in open loop, big effect on the heat. Also the 16 bikes have the sleeved rear header so no drama.
