Re: [ST] 05 ST Heat



The hottest weather I've ridden my '05 in was 29c, and everything below
50km/h was very interesting:-) I read somewhere that the new "'06"
models have a diffrent heat shield. Maybe you could get a closer look at
one of them to see what the diffrence is, and do the mod yourself.

Both legs and my butt are affected at poodling traffic speeds, about 60kph or less. 70kph seems to be enough air flow to move some heat away. I will find out soon how this goes on a long trip.
