The heat from the engine once warm blows directly onto the right inside leg from under the seat.
Has anyone tried re-routing this heat to the inside of your jacket???? could be a nice little gadget for the winter months coming up?

When in traffic I sometimes have to ride with my leg at 45 degrees to get it cool is this common?

ps. there are some ulysses bags and top box on e-bay

The first time I rode the Uly I had to keep checking to confirm that my right pant leg wasn't on fire...it was about 100 degrees then. Now that it is cooler, I rarely notice it...and I'm thankful for it at times.

Even when it was hot, I would notice it more at times than others.

Hmmm. Fadboy, maybe you're onto something. Ducting from the fan (since it pulls) to your jacket. Now, how to get it there...

Both My Ducati and My Suzuki, both liquid cooled are hotter on my legs than my Buell. Duc is un-rideable in the city

Avoid riding in snug fitting jeans. Problem solved?

Does the aftermarket right side airduct help this?
