Interesting enough, as the warmer days approach, I'm finding that my stock SESG seat gets warm. Hey, that's a nice thing when it was cold outside but not when the temps hit mid 70's. It's not an electrically heated seat by any means as you all know but it gets as hotter than my cage heated seats in the winter. I call it the wireless heated seat. Just another HD marvel.

Here's the scoop...  literally. The stock SESG seat has a thin seat pan. Again, we all know this. When I purchased my TQ I also purchased the HD 58002-09 Mid-Frame Air Deflectors and I quote from their site... -->  Designed and tested for severe duty and extreme temperature applications. These black deflectors attach to the frame below the seat, and direct heat away from the rider to improve comfort on hot summer rides.

OK, well what I've found is they scoop the air from the motor and head pipes and direct it under the seat cavity thus my "Incredible Wireless Heated SESG Seat".

My question is...  anyone else getting their butt fried? I am thinking about calling RJ and asking him to make me a set of his. Seems they do not scoop air they redirect it and force the warm air down.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I've got the mid frame heat deflectors on  my SEUC, but have decided I don't need them on the SESG.  I've ridden the bike since last August and have no real issues with excessive heat coming up and frying my legs or my butt.

No real heat issues with my SR too.  Sure it gets warmer on the right than the left, but it has never been uncomfortable.  I keep touching the head of the rear cylinder with my right thigh when I sit at an intersection.  Don't want to leave it sitting there too long.

There ya go CT...  trying to spend my George Washington's again...   

I don't have a hall pass to spend cash on a seat right now... Uncle Sam saw to that when he took all of my milk money for his latest joy ride to Europe. So, you guys have taken your mid frame deflectors off for good huh? Sounds like experiment time. I can live with that...  will try it today!
