After reading the caution in the manual, I was wondering if anyone has actually measured the temperature in the glovebox?

It's bad, you know
DO NOT put your Chapstik in that little compartment unless you are trying to coat the bottom with petroleum lubricant for some weird reason.
You might ask how we know this as fact. You might ask...
Does anyone know of a good degreaser that won't harm the plastic in that little compartment?

Exactly what I was thinking: It will turn a chocolate bar into soup! However, it's a nice place to warm my Clif and Power bars on cool morning rides.
I wonder if it would keep a baggie of coffee (or my preferred hot chocolate) warm? :blink:

I keep a plastic folder with registration and insurance in there - no prob so far. I have not tried choclate but it will turn to goo in your pocket . I plug my GPS into the socket there and keep the connect chord in there - also no prob so far.

I keep a spare key under a piece of black duct tape on the bottom, a couple of zip lock bags, and my clear safety glasses (for riding in the dark) wrapped up in a polishing cloth.
let's ride safe and be careful out there,

O, Woe is me!!
Now that everybody knows where your spare key is, anybody that wants a bike with a butt-ugly but very loud horn can get one!!!! :huh:
Oh, it has GPS, cruise control, music, yada yada yada. Plenty of pics around the forum so you can figure out which one it is!

Yes, try terpentine, artists use it as a thinner/cleaner for oil paints, but it's not petrolium based [it's a wood distilate] and therefore will not attack plastics. My optometrist suggested it once when I got paint on my plastic glasses lenses. It worked.

Since you are a fellow Phoenician: If you put a can of Dinty Moore beef stew in glove box in Gilbert it'll be cooked by Peoria!

In my 08, heat seems to be no issue in the box. Heck, I usually carry a wallet and maybe a cell phone there, and after a few hundred miles have never really noticed that either were even the least bit warmer than usual. Haven't tried the choc bar, but I'll put my digital thermometer in there next ride and let it measure the temp after about an hour or two of riding. I remember reading about this warning in the book, but it really will be interesting to see what the temp actually is. I would also imagine that improved air flow in the later models contribute to a cooler box as well.
