Hey all,

Wish I had a camera with me on the ride home from work yesterday. My cheapo dash air temp gauge was reading 110 degrees and my speedo was reading 110 mph. Would have made a nice pic.

The comfort kit did its job pretty damn well. I still do not have the lower air deflector piece in but the Special Ops Blanket is doing a fine job in its place. I was not to hot for being in a blast furnace.

The bikes fan was on high in traffic. First time I have heard it in high. I have not done the reflash yet, don't trust the local dealer to do shit. I am real happy with the set up as it is for now.

The only thing that the heat seemed to change from the norm is the clutch free play seemed larger and the clutch pull seemed lighter. No rough idle or stumbles or clatters. So far its all good!

I hope you are wearing your flame retardant suit for all the sh*t you may hear about riding 110 mph

Heck, the rest of the traffic was going 90. HAHahaaa. Typical 10 lane toll road ride in the afternoon rush hour.

Well that probably has a little to do with it, that and me weighin in at 330 plus. HAHahaaa. The tire wear is better without the pods on for wind resistance.
