I forgot to mention that when I dropped Flash off for the fuel leak, I also
mentioned the aluminum foil had melted in places. The dealer said they
talked to TOA about it, and that Triumph had not heard of this. I said that
was very strange, as it has been quite a source of discussion on the list.
And that there were two theories, one that once holes appeared in the foil,
the heat was not reflected and melted the belly pan; the other that when
wet, the water turns to steam and melts the plastic. I actually started
looking for a solution myself, and think I may have found one. BUT, when I
picked up the bike, they had installed a very thin quilted aluminum shield
in place of the aluminum foil covered soft foam. So they had a solution for
a problem they didn't know about, pretty good engineering feat :-) (Now
Martin, don't go off on this topic.):-}
I checked the belly pan, and it was warm in places, not hot anywhere, after
a fairly spirited reunion ride home.
