I moved the turn signals up to try and fill the area around the muffler. I need to adjust a few things so it all lines up but what do you all think?
Before:
After:
Got my first ride of the year in today and the seat didnt get hot. But I also went to lowes and got the metal tape for ducts and lined the bottom of the seat. The tape was warm but it never made it through the seat.
Yes this does cut into the underseat storage, but I just bought a nice tank bag to store my tool kit and papers in. Even has a cell phone pocket and a wallet pocket on it.
I let it idle for about 20-30 minutes and even rev'd it every now and then. Temp got up to 195-205 range and muffler got pretty warm. But the cover around the outlets of the muffler is spaced from the muffler body so it was still cool to the touch when the muffler body was hot.
I will once it has the initial cure and is strong enough to withstand the install. Plus I cant go ride because we still have tons of snow on the ground. So it will just have to be idling for a while to heat up.
