Spent yesterday afternoon implementing all of the heat fixes:
1) Frost King insulation now lining underside of fuel tank.
2) Left side Cromieck (sp?) aluminum (0.025" th) insert made and installed; foam stripping added, used cutaway option for airfoil rather than complete removal. Cut as shown in MCN.
3) Right side foam stripping added.
Did a quick 200 mile spin this morning - unbelieveable difference. Like a different bike. Tank is still a little warm, but nowhere as hot as previously. Virtually little to no heat on lower legs/ankles; replaced rubber inserts between tank and frame, so no heat on upper shins, knees.
Wow!
Ran 2 bars all day. 3 bars at stoplights, returned to 2 when underway. Never saw 4 bars, never heard fan go on.
Strongly recommend fix, and many thanks to those who came up with the changes and instructions.
