Someone tell me the good news that the newer Connies don't have massive heat issues in the same areas as this!
I have never had any heat problems with my 2011. The tank does not get hot at all, it does not blast me with heat from anywhere.
Now, if it is really hot outside and I am stuck at a
stop or crawl in traffic, yes, I am freaking hot. The fans kick on and blow that hot air up around me, the sun is heating up my body with no airflow, waves of heat radiate off the 150 degree blacktop... But pretty much all bikes are like that. (I wish it would reverse the direction of the fans when the bike is not moving- blow the hot air FORWARD).
And during hot weather riding, the stock windscreen blocks too much air (I might need to get/make a short one for summer use).
