I've never really had anyone complain about the heat. I have complained about it myself, as I tend to get a lot of engine heat when in slow stop and go traffic. But I've never had a passenger complain. Of course, it doesnt get that hot up here in michigan.. But, about the only thing that will help her is if you get a carbon fiber exhaust. they transfer less heat through the muffler. beyond that, i really dont think there is anything. Another thought... If she is wearing just a shirt without a jacket of some kind, she may getting a sun burn. Also, a jacket will keep the heat off of her back. It sounds funny, but ride your bike with a pair of shorts on and see how hot it is compared to a pair of pants. < Message edited by justasquid -- 5/9/2008 5:01:18 PM > (in reply to humpty1602) Post #: 2

I bought a carbon fiber Scorpion exhaust and my wife has never complained about the heat. fyi- scorpion fits nice, is cheap (~$320) and is relatively quiet for a slip-on (which I like). Its louder than a Yosh with a street baffle but quieter than a D&D. _____________________________ "When I die, I want to die like my grandfather–who died peacefully in his sleep.
