After reading a bunch of articles, I am going to try the ceramic bead covers from BeadRider. Who knows, I might just want that heat in the fall or early spring time! If the beads don't do it for me then will do the air scoop upgrade. Do any of the sponsors of this board sell the Beadrider products?

I don't believe that any of them do, but they do seem to be your best bet! :thumbup:

I read a post here where a piece of aluminum car windshield shade was cut to fit under the seat. The poster claimed it reduced heat up through the seat. A cheap fix and easy to try.

Not a bad Idea will have to try it!

I think what I will do is this, I will keep the idea of the air scoops in mind, it seems that it would get rid of my heat problem, problem is its a modification to the bike itself.

Beadrider site suggests the 14" x 14" for the driver and 10" x 12" for the passanger. Are these good sizes for the RT regular seat?

Thanks everyone for your inputs!!!!!

Copperman was selling a beadrider here recently. Check the 4-sale forum.

Its sold. Thanks anyway.

Ok so I now know the 14 x 14 is good for the driver, What about the riders size?

You'd likely be more comfortable on a Comfort Seat, it is 2" deeper than the stock seat. That 2" moves you away from the top oven aka glove box

Wish I could, don't have the money for a new seat, will try bead rider first. Need to find out if the 10 x 12 is good for the passenger.

We had the hot seat problem on our 14 RTL (live in Texas). Cut a windshield cover to fit under the seat, problem solved.
