    Default I need more heat on my wife's 2011 RT

    With the weather getting cooler and my wife liking to stay warm she is asking me to put MORE heat out the left side foot area like the heat out of the right side area, which she loves. I know this sounds totally backwards from what most people want on the forum, but hey..I need to try to keep her happy. MORE HEAT is what she wants.

    Thought I'd never see this post--- my wife rides her 11 RT April Thru Oct as a commuter and has had the Air Wings on the last two years. They do block some of the cool wind that streams around the bike, and can be adjusted to allow more air flow in the summer. Not a difficult install, and the one metal bracket helps secure the side panels. I carry a little kwik ratchet (harbor freight) that makes access to check the oil a snap.

    I also just found a replacement grommet for the side panel that was wore out. The wife wanted to ride this morning, and I didn't have access to the dealer, so the nearby AutoZone "Help" section had a Toyota PCV grommet #42058 that fit and is a bit beefier to snug the panel before she headed out.

    Wow, I know my wife would trade your's for hers. She has heat out the left, right and under the seat.

    My sugestion is an insulated boot and I like to wear ski pants over my jeans. Keeps me nice and toasty.

    I just can't believe that i'm reading this...

    This certainly is a new wrinkle, on the 2013 heat issue...
