Yeah before this gets out of hand, lemme explain sumthin'...
I was going though my bookmarks and doing some cleaning up when I ran across the link for these forums. I didn't think I even had the log-in credentials still saved, but they were, so I decided to visit the ol' stomping grounds.
When I opened up the forum, the very first thread was this one...and since I had extensive experience with it, I decided to look it up and see what was to be seen.
Sadly, the very first post was from some guy talking smack and question the manhood of those riders who dared express their displeasure with the heat from the C14. The Connie wasn't my first bike, and hopefully, it won't be my last. I've ridden and owned many bikes out there and not a single one of them fried my leg like my '08 did.
I wasn't the only one to notice either. Kawasaki knew of it and had to redesign the fairings in order to deal with it, and not only that, but there are people in here who sell foam pieces to help. Many a thread was started because of this issue.
So, for the guy whose name I won't mention, you can stick a large stiff object up your backside. Your whole "It didn't happen to me so your experience is irrelevant" viewpoint is just retarded. It's like saying, "My wife didn't get breast cancer, so there's something wrong with yours". I didn't come here looking to start a fight, but your condescending words were a bit much. Some of us are smart enough to recognize bank-handed insults.
So that's my piece...won't say another word. Never been a troll...no need to get labeled as such.
