Insulating Pad for Tank?

[leedavis]

Is there an insulating pad available for the fuel tank for the area around the thighs. I recently picked up an 04. The prior owner did all the heat mods and they're quite effective, but I still get some warmth off the tank. Any heat sux when it's 90 degrees outside like it is here today. A buffer between my legs and the tank would be niiiice.

Smitty141 was selling them (for '03 - '05) at the end of last week. I have one on the way for my '05. Here:

Thanks, but I have that. I want something between my legs and the tank. Seems like there should be a solution...something simple that adheres to the tank sides in the slots where your thighs touch the tank.

I put one of Smitty's under-tank insulation blankets on my '05 FJR and it was well worth the money. Tank is a lot cooler now.

Are you riding with your tank full? That makes a big difference too, if it is close to empty it turns into a nut roaster.

Guess I need to get this guy:

to make me up something custom.

I'll need 100. 1 for me and 99 for everyone who will want one! :specool:

(expect to pay dearly )

I have an 04 and the heat is almost gone in summer , but I didn't use the insulating blanket. I did the same thing with the foil wrapped bubble wrap which is used for heat ducting. If you search the forum for heat fixes, there are pictures posted of this bubble wrap with the foil facing, and the shape to cut out for the pieces. Total cost was about $10.. VT :clapping:

What kind of seat do you have? Once I ditched the stocker everything got cooler because I wasn't so close to the tank!
