Hi Jeff,
I know what you are talking about, its cool weather from September to June in Bellingham (I am just north of you in Lynden), seldom getting over 60, but since then the heat has climbed into the 70's and 80's now and the heat that came out around the seat is horrible when I had my 2011 RT. I did fix it so give me a call and I will go over the fix with you. We have an informal club as well we can talk about.

One thing about the group I enjoy is that I have issues, snoop around a bit and find answers! Will be doing the reflective tape once I get home. Thank you for sharing the DIY fix!

heat
I have a 2014 RTS new with 500 miles. I to can feel heat coming from under the seat. I also hear a loud fan that comes on occasionally. I had chalked it up to the break in period but now I am not sure . I live in San Diego so mild climate.

I eliminated 95% of the heat and stopped the boiling tank. I used thermo blanketing that you use under the hood on cars and trucks. I cut it to fit up and over the air cleaner and down to just above the header pipe (this material is treated with flame retardant). I then took more of it and run up and under the fuel tank and taped it to the first blanket with aluminum duct tape. This forces all the heat down and under the bike instead of up and around the seat. I was carful to fit it right and it was great after that.
I then took it a step further by removing the useless small pieces on the side panels and glue the blanket to all of the side panels to cover every inch possible. I also did the lower black filler panels. this kept the heat from radiating from the panels when parked or idling.
I also blocked the side duct and insulated everything to prevent any heat getting out on or near my right foot. I remove the stone cover so the heat could be pushed down and out the bottom. An days work but it paid in spades for heat control.

Just out of curiosity, have you ridden street motorcycles (two wheelers) in the past?
