I have heard of people doing it as the heat got to them. It should work, but the heat will go somewhere else.

I ride my 1100 every day, and havent noticed any heat discomfort. Maybe some on the under side of the shelter might help. but along the fairing sides???

Stop wearing board shorts, and wear Kevlar lined Jeans. No problem

I haven't noticed any excessive heat. There is some heat on hotter days from air through the vents in the access panels but is nothing compared to a Honda 750 that I owned previously

maybe looking for the wrong solution! so new question is where does the temp gauge on other 1100s sit as mine is very low at reasonable speed but just of high temp in slow or stop speed "rises quickly" then drops just as quick when i move of

Sounds normal to me. Mine sits down near the bottom while on the higway and goes up about 2/3rds until the fan kicks in.

Normal for mine in warmer months is about a quarter of the solid line, a little less in the cooler months. I did notice that in city traffic that is about half way and will go to three quarters before the fan cuts in when sitting at the lights.

I've never heard of an ST1100 giving off heat. The ST1300, the Yammy and Kawasaki just cook people but the ST1100 even when in the Over 40's has never been a problem. Probably why the cops liked em so much

Have not had a problem with heat as I don't ride with my knees touching the panels. Am looking forward to the heat in coming winter, definatley going to flick the little square panels out that sit just in front of my knees. Maybe not so painful for my old knee joints with a warm blast on them. Anybody thought about making bigger vents for frosty mornings, or not worth the trouble?
