Re: [ST] Jeremy--road trip test of the exhaust coatings?



Well, here's the latest:  while the coating did help considerably,
particularly on the right side, it's still a damn hot bike.  I was able
to really test this in the stop-and-go traffic in northwest VA on the
way to Waynesboro.  It was very humid, and mid 80s, with a mix of hazy
and bright sun.  I had the liner out of my Firstgear textile pants and
the heat was "annoying".  This is an improvement over "unbearable"
pre-coat, but I still think I will remove the sides and belly pan for
the summer, or get brave and perform a Serlick Venting job down the
line.  

I will say that by the end of Friday, I was entertaining thoughts of
what bike to get to replace The Raging Inferno (the lousy traffic was at
least half of the frustration), but after storming the twisties (highway
601 was awesome), the Sprint redeemed itself, allowing me to keep up
with a SuperHawk and a CBR600F4 in the tight stuff on the organized ride
Saturday.  Fairings were off for that ride, although it wasn't nearly as
hot a day as Friday.  I did have a fully faired Joel along for the ride
and did note that my frame rails were somewhat cooler and I felt very
little heat at all.  The RS makes more sense now!  :0)     

I plan to write up a ride report later this week for the Hawklist and
will likely post here as well.
