Posts: 256 Florida | I've been talking to a good custom bike designer about this issue and he's working on a fix. We're looking at the possiblity of placing Header Wraps around the pipes where they come out of the engine and under the heat shields. I'll keep you posted. In the Florida heat, this is a problem. Those in cooler weather climates might have not noticed just how much heat is generated on the right side by the floorboards. |

Also the lower wind deflectors available from Victory help a lot and they will keep you warmer in the cold weather also. O yes the highway pegs are also a must as being able to move your feet out just a little gets them away from the heat. If you ride a Harley Ultra, or Gold Wing GL1800 wind deflectors are a must in the heat and the Vision is no exception. I think the lower wind deflectors for the Vision work better than the ones available for the Harley or Gold Wing. |
